Mavis Staples - I Have Learned To Do Without You Lyrics
You gave me my first taste of love
You put in a groove and I could think of
Were your sweet lips
Upon my face
Your tender voice I thought I could never erase
Although you're gone
And I'm all alone
In an unhappy home
I have learned to do without you
Even though, even though it hurts inside
I have learned to do without you
I've wiped those tears from my eyes
I'm not perfect, boy, I know it's true
My true love and affection, it just wouldn't do
So you found yourself, found somebody new
Now that you're gone
And I'm all alone
In an un, in an un, in an unhappy home
Oh, I have learned to do without you
Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside
Somehow, I have learned, learned
Learned to do without you
I have wiped all the tears from my eyes
Now that you've had
Had your round of ruse
You realized just how good
How good I was to you
You've come back
To my front door
But it's too late, it's too late, it's too late
I just don't need you no more
So baby, go
Go and leave me alone
In this un, in this un, in this unhappy home
'Cause you know what?
I have learned
Learned to do without you
I have learned to do without you
I'm doing just fine
Oh, by myself
Go on back to your new love
I don't need you
I don't need you no more
'Cause I have learned, learned
Learned to live without you
Yes I have
Somehow I got over you, yeah
Did something I didn't think I could do
I have learned to do without you
I'm doing just fine

Those violins, the drums the strum of the base and that beautiful, powerful, voice of Mavis Staples, just kills me when I listen to this! Have Mercy, I love this song so much.
Mavis voice is sexy!!!!
DO IT WELL Absolutely.
marvis is great
I don't care how many singers are listen to and I've listened to a lot no one comes close to Mavis she is a fantastic singer even till this day God bless Mavis
Maybe , Mavis was singing to Bob Dylan here! He proposed to her and she turned him down. She said they were both teenager and to young to marry.
"I have wiped those tear from my eyes" Yessss Mavis sang!!
She TOLD him. Sing it Mavis.
i stand corrected, mavis IS fine, i & yes she's still can sing circles around miss love hangover.
Who in the fuck besides ur stupid ass is comparing Ms. Staples to Ms. Ross? If u dont like Diana Ross, thats fine, but keep ur ignorant, stupid opinions to urself. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one except u. U are an asshole!
mavis was fine , and this song was just incredible.
Mavis IS fine...she has a new album out.
Yes she was fine.
Mavis Staples has one of the greatest voices of all time. No matter the song she's gone tear it up. Chicago's finest. Believe that
love her
speak the truth,no question about your being right.but to slightly disagree,that was 2 different times and eras.youre talking real talent from the real ladies of music to the current best of this time I.e. the Adele's and beyonces,kelly Rowland's,ect.still good talent,just not superb compared to the prior masters of their era.the dominated then and still do today.....
she sounded much like Whitney houston mom
Quinton Williams pardon me you mean Whitney's mom sounded like Mavis dont get it twisted no one can match Mavis voice not even the Queen of soul.

If you're willing to spend some hours watching random people's playlists you find so much awsome music. I would like to thank King689 for making awsome playlists in all genres...
OOOOOH yeah I'm liking this! Nice voice Mavis
@soln4suhreborn Thanx for the email, appreciate the feedback.
@Achdus5772 Especially during the last chorus of the song where she really gives the guy a piece of her mind.I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
@perry123mason This tune was recorded about 1969 or 1970 and you can find 45's of it and the "Only For The Lonely" album on both vinyl and CD. It's fairly easy to find.
Good music all the way around!
She's giving me chills...
Amen...
That's how you SING!!!!!!!!
I LOVE Mavis's voice...she could make a cough sound soulful.
What a wonderful voice - and it has gotten even better! Thanks for posting.

Ms. Mavis!!!

Wow, haven't heard this in a long time, but it's just as fresh and beautiful as the day it was recorded. Mavis Staples, gorgeous voice and so much class! Thanks for posting this =)
Wow!!! What a tough song! I don't think I've heard this since the 70's. Thanks!
Mavis Staple is one of my favorite singers and this song is awesome.
