You Can Get By

She was through with all the women he used to do
Seeing each morning he left her crying
But she stays, just hoping that he might change
So then she put up with all his lying

Well, hey lady, you're gonna be okay
But he ain't worth what you go through
Oh no, no, no

So pick yourself up off the floor
That's no way for you to fight
He won't be hurting you no more
Trust yourself, you can get by

She was just a baby in her mother's 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, you're gonna be okay
But that's not love that's hurting you
Oh no, no, no

So pick yourself up off the floor
That's no way for you to fight (for you to fight, fight)
He won't be hurting you no more
Trust yourself, you can get by (you can get by)
Oh-oh-oh-oh

So pick yourself up off the floor
That's no way for you to fight (for you to fight, fight)
He won't be hurting you no more
Trust yourself, you can get by (you can get by)

Why would you let somebody treat you that way?
When it's only fear that beckons you to stay
You've got to be strong
And know that without him, your life carries on
