Missed the Saturday danceHeard they crowded the floorCouldn’t bear it without youDon’t get around much anymoreThough I’d visit the clubGot as far as the doorThey’d have asked me about youDon’t get around much anymoreDarling, I guess my mind’s more at easeBut nevertheless why stir up memories?Been invited on datesMight have gone but what for?Awf’lly diff’rent without youDon’t get around much anymore
