There was a time when I thought life was over and out
When you went away from me
My dying heart made it hard to breathe
Would sit in my room
Because I didn't want to have to go out
And see you walking by
One look and I'd break right down and cry
Now you say that you made a big mistake
Never meant to take your love away
But you can save your tired apologies
'Cause it may seem hard to believe, but

I'm doin' just fine
Getting along very well
Without you in my life (I don't need you in my life)
I'm doin' just fine
Time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind

You were my earth
My number one priority
I gave my love to only you
Anything you'd ask of me, I would do
But somewhere down the road
You felt a change in the weather and told me 
That you had to journey on
A kiss in the wind and your love was gone
Now you say you never meant to play your games
Girl, don't you know it's far too late
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have my heart

I'm doin' just fine
Getting along very well
Without you in my life (I don't need you in my life)
I'm doin' just fine
Time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind (I don't need you in my life)

When you said goodbye
I felt so all alone
There were times at night I couldn't sleep
My heart was much too weak to make it on my own
Baby, after all the misery
And pain you put me through
So unfair to me, girl
You're no longer my world and I ain't missin' you at all

I'm doin' just fine, baby (getting along very well)
Without you in my life 
I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine
Time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind

See baby, when you walked away
You didn't think it would end up this way
But I knew you'd be coming 'round someday
Just as sure as my name is Wanya

I'm doin' just fine, baby
Time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind

I'm doin' just fine
Getting along very well
Without you in my life
