Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We get by on love and faith

We get by with a smile on our face

We get by with help from our kin

We get by through thick and through thin

[Verse 2]

We get by, we get by

No matter what happens

I'll be there for you

We get by

[Verse 3]

Was just the other day

I heard from my old friend

She was goin' through changes

Once again

Matters of the head

Matters of the heart

Maybe too early to tell

But it's never too late to start

[Verse 4]

We get by, we get by

No matter how long

I'll be waitin' here for you

We get by

We get by, we get by

No matter how long

I'll be waitin'

We get by

[Verse 5]

Day by day

Line by line

If you don't have yours

You sure got mine

We get by

We get by day by day

We get by

And I always

[Verse 6]

We get by, we get by

No matter how it happens

I'll be there for you

We get by

We get by, we get by

No matter how long

I'll be waitin' here for you

We get by

[Verse 7]

No matter how long

I'll come runnin'

We get by

I'll be waiting, oh

No matter what happens, I'll be there for you

What happens, I'll be there for you

Oh, oh, yeah
