Píseň: Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
My Kind Of Blues
Missed the saturday dance
 I heard they crowded the floor
 Couldn't bear it without you
 Don't get around much anymore


 Thought I'd visit the club
 got as far as the door
 They'd have asked me about you
 I don't get around much anymore


 Darling I guess, my mind is more at ease
 But nevertheless why stir up old memories


 Been invited on dates
 might have gone but what for
 Awfully different without you
 I don't get around much anymore


 O, I miss that saturday dance
 But I heared they flooded the floor
 Couldn't bear it without you
 Don't get around much anymore


 So I thought I'd visit the club
 But I only got as far as the door
 Someone will have asked me about you
 I don't get around much anymore


 Darling I guess, my mind is more at ease
 But nevertheless why stir up old memories


 Been invited on dates
 might have gone but what for
 Awfully different without you
 I don't get around much anymore
