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
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
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
The Vibrations' song "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" is a classic breakup song. The lyrics express the singer's decision to move on from a relationship with someone who was unfaithful and disrespectful. The song begins with a catchy melody and the repetition of the phrase "Uh huh hm hm, gonna get along without you now." The singer then recounts how their partner cheated on them with multiple women and didn't seem to care about the emotional toll it was taking on the singer. Despite being told that they were the most important person to their partner, they were repeatedly lied to and left feeling hurt.
The chorus returns to the catchy repetition of the title phrase, emphasizing the singer's newfound confidence in moving on from the relationship. The second verse discusses how the partner portrayed themselves as a friend, but their behavior proved otherwise. They disappeared from the singer's life and seemed to have no interest in maintaining any kind of connection. The chorus returns one final time, driving home the message that the singer is "gonna get along without you now." The final line of the song, "So long my honey goodbye my dear," serves as a final farewell to the unfaithful partner.
Overall, "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" is an empowering song about leaving a toxic relationship and finding the strength to move on.
