Get Along with You
"Get Along with You" is a song by American singer Kelis from her debut studio album, Kaleidoscope (1999). Released as the album's third and final single, the song marked a change in direction for Kelis compared to her previous two singles, being her first ballad released as a single. Lyrically, "Get Along with You" describes how someone's love and the need to "get along with them" is more substantial than material possessions and even the world itself. It remains Kelis' lowest-peaking single to date in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 51 on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, it became her second consecutive single to miss the Billboard Hot 100.

Lyrics
Don't need no pencils
Don't need no love letters
Cause I just wanna get along with you
No beeper, don't need no cellular
no Digital fetter, listen
I just wanna get along with you
Try me cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I forced upon this planet
sad and lonely nights i`m used to gettin
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly?
Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you
Don't need no car
Don't need no truck
Don't need no vehicles
Cause I just wanna get along with you
no planes
Don't need no trains
Don't need to be a passenger
Cause I just wanna get along with you
Try me cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I forced upon this planet
sad and lonely nights i`m used to gettin
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Was it I loved you poorly?
Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you
Don't need these clothes
Don't need this house
Don't need this land or skies
Cause I just wanna get along with you
These eyes, don't need these thighs
As a matter of fact this damn life
Cause I just wanna get along with you
Try me cause I'd be
The one that makes you happy
But the part that I don't get is
Why me? You deny me
Now I forced upon this planet
sad and lonely nights i`m used to gettin
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you
Dear diary
I remember like it was yesterday
It was October 30
I know longer have any need for these worldly things
I wanna go where he is
I'll follow the fire in the sky
And like that I'll be gone
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you
You took my heartbeat from me
This is the saddest story
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
