Emily King - You Can Get By lyrics

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
