You Can Get By

You can get by if you try

You can get by if you try



Somewhere in the city

There's someone for you

Maybe in some doorway

You know love begins there too



I know it's a pity

To be so all alone

The bed seems so empty

And not a ring from the phone



You can get by if you try

You can get by if you try

You may not be pretty



Oh but you can be, you know

Take off those shabby clothes, girl

And let your beauty show

Make yourself a lovely woman

And get yourself a man

Then you will be happy

You can do it, yes you can, hey hey



You can get by if you try

You can get by if you try

You can get by if you try

You can get by if you try
