what is this going to get us

Billie Holiday

What is this going to get us?
Where are we heading in?
When do we start to live, dear?
When do we really begin?

What is this going to get us?
Hanging around 'til four
Saying goodnight at daybreak
Kissing goodbye in the doorway

We can't go on the way we've gone
I'm at the end of my rope
I can't live on love, I've so much of
And I can't keep living on hope

What is this going to get us?
Only an aching heart
When is this going to get us?
Together, never to part

We can't go on the way we've gone
I'm at the end of my rope
Gee, I can't live on love, I've so much of
And I can't keep living on hope

What is this going to get us?
Only an aching heart
When is this going to get us?
Together, never to part
