Lyrics
GETTING ALONG
Lani Ford
©? 2004
VERSE 1:
Instead of joints I'm rolling cigarettes
Getting' high on that little one-hit
You gave me
When we were getting along
VERSE 2:
Rather than sex I'm having hangovers
A triple threat with that chip on my shoulder
You gave me
When I was loading my car
VERSE 3:
I took your dog and wrecked your home
You had a kid I still live alone
With a bass
To replace
The one you gave me
When we were getting along
VERSE 4:
I broke your heart and dissed your mother
Went off to New York to find me another
Lover
To replace
The one you gave me
Before I knew I'd be gone
BRIDGE:
So good for you
I'm so glad you're happy
So nice for you
Now you're kid has a daddy
So bad for me
I'm almost an old lady
So sad for me
Now nobody can save me
From the past that haunts me
Every night
I toss and turn
And dream of holding you tight
Like I did
When we were getting along
Like I did
When we were getting along
VERSE 5:
Instead of boys I'm digging real men
Ones with jobs and even an apartment
To take me
When we start getting along
