Lyrics
DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
I missed the Saturday Dance
I couldn't get past the door
It's awful different without you
Don't get around much anymore
I thought I'd visit the club
I thought I'd go but what for
I just can't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Well Darling, I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why bring back memor...
Why bring back memor...
Why bring back memories?
I been invited on dates
I might have gone but what for
I just can't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
-Guitar & Piano solo...
Oh Darling, I guess my mind is more at ease
But nevertheless
Why bring back memor...
Why bring back memor...
Why bring back memories?
Now Mr Saturday Night
Can't make it out of the door
(Nor crawl 'cross the floor...)
I sit here crying without you
Don't get around much anymore
Yeah this is me since I lost you
Don't get around much anymore
You flew away, I still love you
Oh...
Don't get around much anymore
