I'll learn to survive with no kiss goodnight
No hand to hold, no arms holding me tight
I've done it before, I can do it again
But why is there always so much of this pain

'Cause you just don't love me like you used to do
Or you would not hurt me the way that you do
I need love that's constant, not just on your whim
Oh Baby, I love you, but our chances are slim

If you cannot hold me when I need you to
And give me the lovin' that I need from you
Perhaps I'd be better off livin' alone
Than pouring my heart out in a hurtin' love song

I'll learn to survive with no hand to hold
No kiss goodnight and a love that's grown cold
I've done it before, I can do it again
But why is there always so much of this pain

Don't want to start over with somebody new
Don't want nobody, if I can't have you
But I need love that's constant, not just on your whim
The way things are going, our chances are slim

I'll learn to survive with no kiss goodnight
No hand to hold, no arms holding me tight
I've done it before, I can do it again
But why is there always so much of this pain
