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, 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, I am all alone



Oh, I have learned to do without you,
Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside
So hard.
I have 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 to do without you
I have learned to do without you,
I'm doing just fine all by myself
Go back to your new love
I don't need you
I don't need you no more.
Cause I have learned to live without you,
Yes, I got over you,
Yeah
I have learned to do without you
