Make it smooth
Once upon a time, not long ago
Spend all my time worryin' bout what I owe
There's more to life than being rich or poor
And worryin' bout a good decent score
But listen, Oh I'm down to my last 10-dollar bill
Put 5 in the tank and the rest [?] and I'll get by
Situations make me wanna cry (oh yeah)
But it don't matter ya'll as long as I get by (long as I get by)
Here's the truth and you know this ain't no lie
But you gone owe somebody till the day you die (I'll get by)
Now I fell on hard times, long time ago
Landlord said I had to find somewhere else to go
Now I don't know about the rest of ya'll
But I'm too busy worryin' bout my cholesterol
But listen, now I ain't gotta have a mansion on a hill
A duplex, my chevy and a used 10-dollar bill and I'll get by
Situations make me wanna cry (oh it makes me wanna cry)
But it don't matter ya'll as long as I get by (long as I get by)
Here's the truth and you know this ain't no lie (yeaahhh)
But you gone owe somebody till the day you die (I'll get by)
Now don't get me wrong, I do the best I can
I ain't gonna worry if I can't pay the man
If one day if all my stuff is gone
Ain't gonna worry me, still got rent to own
Oh, Situations make me wanna cry (oh it makes me wanna cry)
But it don't matter ya'll as long as I get by (long as I get by)
Here's the truth and you know this ain't no lie (yeahhh)
But you gone owe somebody till the day you die
(REPEAT) Situations make me wanna cry (oh yeah)
But it don't matter ya'll as long as I get by (long as I get by)
Here's the truth and you know this ain't no lie
But you gone owe somebody till the day you die
My momma just called, and she asked me have I ate
And I said naw, she gone fix your boy a plate yeahhh
Situations make me wanna cry (situations!)
But it don't matter ya'll as long as I get by (long as I get by yeah)
Here's the truth and you know this ain't no lie
But you gone owe somebody till the day you die
(REPEAT) Situations make me wanna cry (situations yeah)
But it don't matter ya'll as long as I get by (long as I get by)
Here's the truth and you know this ain't no lie
But you gone owe somebody till the day you die (I'll get by)
