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
