All my friends drop by and say
"Say get yourself in hand, it's a brand new day"
Though I see the sun, I don't see the light
Since you left, it's been one friendless, endless night
I'm alive, yes, I get by
I survive on my dreams of you and I
If I don't get to have
What I need to have
Than I have no need to try
I don't want to get over you
Don't want no happy ending
I feel better pretending we aren't through
I don't want to get over you
Don't need to find some new love
No one else can do you love like you do
I don't want to get over you
Life goes on, or so they say
But I don't want the pain to go away
That would mean that I've given up on you
And there must be something I can say or do
That will make you feel again
What I know you were feeling way back when
If I don't get to be part of you and me
I don't need to live an easy lie
I don't want to get over you
Don't want no happy ending
I feel better pretending we aren't through
I don't want to get over you
Don't need to find some new love
No one else can do you love like you do
I don't want to get over you
"Say get yourself in hand, it's a brand new day"
Though I see the sun, I don't see the light
Since you left, it's been one friendless, endless night
I'm alive, yes, I get by
I survive on my dreams of you and I
If I don't get to have
What I need to have
Than I have no need to try
I don't want to get over you
Don't want no happy ending
I feel better pretending we aren't through
I don't want to get over you
Don't need to find some new love
No one else can do you love like you do
I don't want to get over you
Life goes on, or so they say
But I don't want the pain to go away
That would mean that I've given up on you
And there must be something I can say or do
That will make you feel again
What I know you were feeling way back when
If I don't get to be part of you and me
I don't need to live an easy lie
I don't want to get over you
Don't want no happy ending
I feel better pretending we aren't through
I don't want to get over you
Don't need to find some new love
No one else can do you love like you do
I don't want to get over you
