Lyric

Missed the Saturday dance

Heard they crowded the floor

I couldn't bear it without you

Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club

Got as far as the door

Yes, they'd have asked me about you

Don't get around much anymore

Yes darling, I guess my mind's more at ease

But nevertheless why stir up on memories

Been invited on dates

Might have gone but what for

Awfully different without you

Don't get around much anymore

Yeah da di de

Heard they crowded the floor, baby

Don't get around much anymore, baby

I thought I'd visit the club

And got as far as the door

They'd have asked me about you

Don't get around much anymore

Oh darling, I guess my mind's more at ease

Yes but nevertheless why stir up on memories

Been invited to dates

Might have gone but what for

Awfully different without you

Don't get around much anymore
