I'm Not Getting Any Better Lyrics - The Complete 45s Collection: Invictus, Hot Wax, Music Merchant 1969-1977 - Holland-dozier-holland

[Spoken] 

I lost my sunshine in a cloudy sky. 

I threw forever away when I said goodbye. 

I went away hoping to find someone, 

Someone to give me peace of mind. 

But still, ever constant, ever true 

Is the love and memory I have for you. 

Here it comes again...those memories... 

Pounding and pounding inside my mind. 

Like a shadow, you dance through my mind 

And disappear into lost time. 

I'm not getting any better 

Time has hurt me more 

Oh no 

I'm not getting any better 

My love is greater than before 

I'm cursed with this need for you 

Can't get over making plans for two 

The pain your memory brings, I can't endure 

I thought tomorrow would bring a cure 

Can't live without you, you are my life 

(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you) 

I'm not getting any better 

Time has hurt me more (time has hurt me more) 

Oh no (no no) 

I'm not getting any better 

My love is greater than before (greater than before) 

I'm like a child who's lost from home 

With no experience to face this world alone 

I fall and stumble trying to regain 

Those pleasures that once spoke your name 

Can't live without you, you are my life 

(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you) 

I'm lost in a sea of despair 

I'm on a downhill journey going nowhere 

I'm not strong enough to accept this change 

Life seems so unreal, so different, so strange 

[Spoken] 

I still need you...I still love you... 

Can't live without you, you are my life 

(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you) 

I'm not getting any better 

Time has hurt me more 

Oh no 

I'm not getting any better 

My love is greater than before 

Your memory is all around me 

You're in every passing face I see 

I'm like a poet without rhyme, 

Like a clock that's run out of time 

Can't live without you, you are my life 

(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you) 

(I'm not getting any better 

Oh no, no no no no no no 

I'm not getting any better 

Oh no, no no no no no no) 

(Without you, I can't live without you)
