You Can Get By

She was thru with all 
Of the women he use to do
See each morning he left her cryin'
But she stays just a-hoping 
That he might change
So then she put up with all his lying

Well, hey lady your gonna be okay
But he aint' worth what you go thru
Oh no, oh no
So pick yourself up off the floor 
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurtin' you no more
Trust yourself you can get by

She was just a baby 
In her mother eyes
And then he came 
And how fast things change
She used to tell her friends 
How he was a perfect guy
Until that day he struck her face

But. hey baby your gonna be ok
But that's not love 
That's hurtin' you
Oh no, oh no
So pick yourself up off the floor 
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurtin' you no more
Trust yourself you can get by
You can get by 
So pick yourself up off the floor 
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurtin' you no more
Trust yourself you can get by

Why would you let somebody 
Treat you that way?
When its only fear 
That gets you to stay
You've got to be strong
And know that without him 
Your life carries on
