[VERSE 1]
I live on an island far away
All by myself
There's no one else
Nobody calls, but that's okay
Don't need their help
I'm by myself
Nobody here to make a career
Of hurting me
Deserting me
Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me
[Chorus]
Don't worry about my recovery
Cause lover, you won't recover me
I'm not too low
I'm not too high
I'll get by
Makin' my
Recovery
[VERSE 2]
When I go wrong as people do
There's only me to answer to
Nobody here to bring me down
No feelings I need step around
Trouble and care are waiting out there
But I'm alright
I'm safe tonight
Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me
[REPEAT Chorus]
Don't worry about my recovery
Cause lover, you won't recover me
I'm not too low
I'm not too high
I'll get by
Makin' my
Recovery
[BRIDGE]
Don't need your sympathy
Save all your tears
I've lived without tenderness
For too many years
Why would I need it now
Nobody here to make a career
Of hurting me
Deserting me
Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me
[REPEAT Chorus]
Don't worry about my recovery
Cause lover, you won't recover me
I'm not too low
I'm not too high
I'll get by
Makin' my
Recovery
I live on an island far away
All by myself
There's no one else
Nobody calls, but that's okay
Don't need their help
I'm by myself
Nobody here to make a career
Of hurting me
Deserting me
Your crazy life ain't ever gonna get me
[Chorus]
Don't worry about my recovery
Cause lover, you won't recover me
I'm not too low
I'm not too high
I'll get by
Makin' my
Recovery
[VERSE 2]
