[Verse 1]
Well I walked out, 'cause I had some plans
Yeah I walked out, destiny in my own hands
I thought I'd get by without you
Thought I'd survive without you
But I got drunk, I did not know why
Yeah I got drunk, I was dying inside

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No something is wrong
I can't get along without you

[Verse 2]
So I picked fights, with men twice my size
Yeah I picked fights, they punched out my lights
And I Took smack, so I could get high
I got hooked, and I nearly died
I slept rough, I lived on the streets
Yeah I slept rough, newspaper for sheets

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No something is wrong
I can't get along without you
[Verse 3]
So I got a train, and I headed home
Yeah I got a train to the town I was born
And I went back, to the place where we'd meet
I broke down and cried in the street
'Cause I realized what I'd done wrong
Yeah I fucked up I loved you all along

[Chorus]
Can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you, girl
Believe me baby
Can't get along without you
Can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No something is wrong
I can't get along without you
I really need you baby!
