Took two old songs that never quite clicked, and combined them.
"I'll Get By"
BRIDGE IN:
Don’t apologize for leaving. – Just tell me goodbye.
Don’t attempt an explanation. – It won’t matter why.
Don’t insult me with your pity. – Baby, I’ll get by. …. I’ll get by. I’ll get by.
VERSE:
You asked me to tell you – I’d be alright if you left me now.
You knew you were asking me to lie.
I don’t want to be a burden, so I won’t try to change your mind.
Go on walk out baby – I’ll get by.
CHORUS:
Someday I will wonder, why (aye aye aye.) And I’m sure there will be some days when I cry.
But you just walk on out that door, and don’t think twice about me.
Don’t feel sorry for me. . . I’ll get by. I’ll get by. I’ll get by.
Baby, Baby, Baby, I’ll get by. – I’ll get by. – Baby, Baby, Baby, I’ll get by.
Should I have tried to tell you -- that I would die if you left me know.
We both know that would never have changed your mind.
No matter how you hurt me babe, I can’t treat you unkind.
So, I’ll just keep pretending – I’ll get by.
CHORUS:
Someday I will wonder, why (aye aye aye.) And I’m sure there will be some days when I cry.
But you just walk on out that door, and don’t think twice about me.
Don’t feel sorry for me. I’ll get by. I’ll get by. I’ll get by.
Baby, Baby, Baby, I’ll get by. – I’ll get by. – Baby, Baby, Baby, I’ll get by.
BRIDGE TO OUT.
You promised me sweet fairy tales. Your fairy tales were lies.
Reality rose up and smacked me right between the eyes.
When my whole world came crashing down, shoulda come as no surprise.
But I got by, I got by, I got by.
I’ll just keep pretending I got by. I got by. Baby, Baby, Baby, I’ll get by.
