Well I walked out cause I had some plans, yeah
I walked out destiny in my own hands
I thought I'd get by without you
I thought I'd survive without you
But I, I got drunk, I did not know why, yeah
I got drunk, I was dying inside

Cause I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No, something is wrong, I can't get along without you

So I picked fights with men twice my size, yeah
I picked fights, they punched out my lights
Took smack so I could get high
I got hooked and I nearly died
And I slept rough, I lived on the street, yeah
I slept rough newspapers for sheets

Cause I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No, something is wrong, I can't get along without you

So I got a train and I headed home, yeah
I got a train to the town I was born
And I went back to the place where we'd meet
I broke down and cried in the street
Cause I realized what I'd done wrong yeah
I fucked up I loved you all along

I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
Girl, believe me baby

I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No, something is wrong, I can't get along without you
Really need you baby
