You gave me my first taste of love,
You put me in a groove and all I could think of
Were your sweet lips upon my face,
You tender voice I thought I could never erase
Although you're gone, and I'm all alone
In an unhappy home
I have learned to do without you
Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside
I have learned to do without you
I have wiped those tears from my eyes
I'm not perfect, oh, and 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
Now that you're gone, and I'm all alone
In an un-, in an un-, in an unhappy home
Oh, I have learned to do without you
Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside
So hard
I have learned, learned, learned to do without you
I have wiped all the tears from my eyes
Now that you've had, had your rendez-vous
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
So, baby, go, go and leave me alone
In this un-, in this un-, in this unhappy home
Cause you know what?
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 somehow got over you
Yeah
Doing some I didn't think I could do
I have learned to do without you
