Mavis Staples - I Have Learned To Do Without You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
You gave me my first taste of love
You put in a groove and I could think of
Were your sweet lips
Upon my face
Your tender voice I thought I could never erase

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Although you're gone
And I'm all alone
In an unhappy home

[Chorus]
I have learned to do without you
Even though, even though it hurts inside
I have learned to do without you
I've wiped those tears from my eyes

[Verse 2]
I'm not perfect, boy, I know it's true
But all my intentions were good for you
My true love and affection, it just wouldn't do
So you found yourself, found somebody new

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now that you're gone
And I'm all alone
In an un, in an un, in an unhappy home

[Chorus]
Oh, I have learned to do without you
Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside
Somehow, I have learned, learned
Learned to do without you
I have wiped all the tears from my eyes

[Verse 3]
Now that you've had
Had your round of ruse
You realized just how good
How good I was to you
You've come back
To my front door
But it's too late, it's too late, it's too late
I just don't need you no more

[Pre-Chorus 3]
So baby, go
Go and leave me alone
In this un, in this un, in this unhappy home
'Cause you know what?

[Chorus]
I have learned
Learned to do without you
I have learned to do without you
I'm doing just fine
Oh, by myself
Go on back to your new love
I don't need you
I don't need you no more
'Cause I have learned, learned
Learned to live without you
Yes I have
Somehow I got over you, yeah
Did something I didn't think I could do
I have learned to do without you
I'm doing just fine
