Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
You told me I was the neatest thing
You even asked me to wear your ring
You ran around with every girl in town
You didn't even care if it got me down
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
Because all of a sudden you changed your tune
You haven't been around since way last June
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
So long my honey goodbye my dear

But this is where our friendship ends
Because all of a sudden you changed your tune
You haven't been around since way last June
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
So long my honey goodbye my dear
