|
We're in love, let's be together |
|
Happy times or heavy weather |
|
Mother says, today's a special day |
|
So let's not fight, okay, yeah |
|
When you were at school, you were a honey |
|
The boys all loved you, you loved their money |
|
The boys would stare, you'd cross your legs |
|
And then you'd toss your hair |
|
Away |
|
Yes, you get by |
|
Away |
|
Money's scarce, but family honor |
|
Brings it home, brings it home |
|
And down the shop, their tongues they snicker |
|
TV dinners, beer and liquor, oh yeah |
|
Skeletons fall out of cupboards |
|
Curtains drawn, fall open to allow |
|
The light shows up the dust |
|
That plays around your face |
|
Away |
|
Yes, you get by |
|
Away |
|
Away |
|
Yes, you get by |
|
Away |
|
Innocence and lies don't make a perfect match |
|
Leave your door unlatched |
|
I know a word could be untrue |
|
And yet still move you |
|
And all that time they bring their friends 'round |
|
Dress you up, show you up |
|
And all the time they told you it was true |
|
Well, I'll believe you now |
|
But then I just don't know |
|
I think I have to reconsider, yeah |
|
I know when she got married |
|
She looked fine in white and lacy frills |
|
Oh yeah, she had a baby |
|
It was painful, it was worth it |
|
And all the time they stuck the knife in |
|
Pulled it up and twist it around |
|
Away |
|
Yes, you get by |
|
Away |
|
Away |
|
Yes, you get by |
|
Away |
|
Away |
|
Oh, yes, you get by |
|
Away |
|
Well, that's fine, fine, fine |
