[bad word] and go now as you please
 Your actions write the melodies
 To the songs that we sing
 And you still sing

 And I finally found that life goes on without you
 And the world still turns when you're not around

 Is this the way you want it
 Is this the way it has to be
 Sitting here beside you when my heart's lost in New Orleans
 [bad word] clever
 Hearts now severed
 Difference of forever
 And I'm lost there

 And I finally found that life goes on without you
 And the world still turns when you're not around
 And I finally found that life goes on without you
 And the world still turns when you're not around

 And I finally found that out
 Your actions write the melodies
 To the songs that we sing
 Your actions write the melodies
 To the songs that we sing
 And you just sing along out loud
 [bad word] and go now as you please
 Your actions write the melodies
 To the songs that we sing
 And you still sing

 And I finally found that life goes on without you
 And the world still turns when you're not around
 And I finally found that life goes on without you
 And the world still turns when you're not around

 And I finally found that out
 Your actions write the melodies
 To the songs that we sing
 Your actions write the melodies
 To the songs that we sing
 And you just sing along out loud
