Get Out of My Life
Ferlin Husky · Just for You [Capitol] [1968]
Get out of my life if you don't love me
Get out of my life and leave me alone
Get out of my life if you don't want me
No need to pretend, that feeling is gone.
Get out of my life and live your own
Dear, don't condemn me I won't condemn you
I was no saint and you were no angel
Get out of my life, let's face that we're through.
--- Instrumental ---
Get out of my life if you don't love me
Get out of my life and leave me alone
Get out of my life if you don't want me
No need to pretend, that feeling is gone.
Get out of my life and live your own
Dear, don't condemn me I won't condemn you
I was no saint and you were no angel
Get out of my life, let's face that we're through...
