mavis staples - i have learned to do without you 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 round of ruse
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
oh, 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
