We Get By

Mavis Staples Mavis Staples

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
We get by, we get by
No matter what happens, I'll be there for you

We get by
Was just the other day, I heard from my old friend
She was going through changes once again
Matters of the head, matters of the heart
Maybe too early to tell, but it's never to late to start
We get by, we get by
No matter how long, I'll be waiting here for you

We get by
We get by, we get by
No matter how long, I'll be waiting
We get by
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
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 waiting here for you
We get by
No matter how long, I'll come running
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, oh, yeah
