[Verse 1]
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

[Bridge]
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories?

[Verse 2]
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories?

[Outro]
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
