i'll need time to get you off my mind
and i may sometimes bother you,
try to be in touch with you
even ask too much of you from time to time
now and then
lord, you know i'll need a friend
til i get used to losin you,
let me keep on usin you til i can make it on my own
i'll get by, but no matter how i try
there'll be times you know i'll call
chances are my tears will fall,
and i'll have no pride at all from time to time
but they say there'll be brighter days
but til then i'll lean on you thats all i mean to do
til i can make it on my own
surely someday i'll look up and see the mornin sun,
without another lonely nite behind me
then i'll know i'm over you
and all my cryin's done
no more hurt and memories can find me
but til then lord, you know i'm gonna need a friend
til i get used to losin you,
let me keep on usin you til i can make it on my own,
til i can make it on my own
