I GOT BY IN TIME — текст песни (The Jam)

Saw a girl that I used to know
I was deep in thought at the time
Don`t recognise the face at first
`Cause I was probably looking at mine
Well she was the only girl I`ve ever loved
But my folks didn`t dig her so much
I was young
It was serious
To me she was the world (she was my world now)
I thought I`d never live without her,
But I got by in time
Well let me tell you now,
Saw a guy that I used to know
Man he`d changed so much
I think it hurt him to say `hello`,
`Cause he hardly opened his mouth
Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago
Truly inseperable
We were young
and full of ideals
We were gonna rule this whole world
But something happened
I didn`t know why
But that`s the way that it goes.
I suppose,
What you say - what you do
Don`t mean nothing, nothing at all
And all the bonds you make between ya
Can be broken any time you want now
Please tell me if my philosophy`s wrong
I`ve got to know the truth
I don`t mean to offend anyone but,
You know it`s something that I do, oh-
So nice to see you tonight,
And I`m so glad that you came
Some of the people standing outside, say
Sure feel the same
Yeah my point is in a round about way
Given time he`ll always forget
`Cos the memories
That are shouting me on
To me everything (you`re everything now)
And it always will be mine, yeah
And no one can take them away
