Lyrics

[Verse 1] You gave me my first taste of love You put in a groove and I could think of Were your sweet lips upon my face Your tender voice I thought I could never erase [Pre-Chorus 1] Although you're gone And I'm all alone In an unhappy home [Chorus] I have learned to do without you Even though, even though it hurts inside I have learned to do without you I've wiped those tears from my eyes [Verse 2] I'm not perfect, boy, I know it's true But all my intentions were good for you My true love and affection, it just wouldn't do So you found yourself, found somebody new [Pre-Chorus 2] Now that you're gone And I'm all alone In an un, in an un, in an unhappy home [Chorus] Oh, I have learned to do without you Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside Somehow, I have learned, learned Learned to do without you I have wiped all the tears from my eyes [Verse 3] Now that you've had, had your rendezvous You realized just how good, how good I was to you You've come back to my front door But it's too late, it's too late, it's too late I just don't need you no more [Pre-Chorus 3] So baby, go Go and leave me alone In this un, in this un, in this unhappy home 'Cause you know what? [Chorus] I have learned Learned to do without you I have learned to do without you I'm doing just fine all by myself Go on back to your new love I don't need you, I don't need you no more 'Cause I have learned, learned Learned to live without you, yes I have Somehow I got over you, yeah Did something I didn't think I could do I have learned to do without you I'm doing just fine
