Just Getting By Lyrics - Can You Do Me Good - Del Amitri

Look at me, I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone 

I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don't last for long 

Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions 

We try to make a difference, do something no one else had tried 

But if you see me walking and you're wondering why 

Well it's just the business of life 

If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by 

Look at me, is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known? 

Am I a foreign presence, someplace that used to be my home? 

So if you see me walking, just a regular guy 

Well it's just the business of life 

If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by 

And in that weightlessness that comes with good luck 

The one thing you don't expect is feeling the drop 

Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back 

I try to do my best, but I guess I never had the knack 

So if you see me walking, and you're wondering why 

Well it's just the business of life 

If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by
