You can get by if you try You can get by if you try Somewhere in the city There's someone for you Maybe in some doorway You know love begins there too I know it's a pity To be so all alone The bed seems so empty And not a ring from the phone You can get by if you try You can get by if you try You may not be pretty Oh but you can be, you know Take off those shabby clothes, girl And let your beauty show Make yourself a lovely woman And get yourself a man Then you will be happy You can do it, yes you can, hey hey You can get by if you try You can get by if you try You can get by if you try You can get by if you try [Repeat and fade]
