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
Till I get used to losin' you
Let me keep on usin' you
Till 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
Oh there'll be a brighter day
But till then I'll lean on you
That's all I mean to do
Till I can make it on my own
Surely someday
I'll look up
And see the mornin' sun
Without another lonely night
behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you
And all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories
can find me
But till then
Lord you know
I'll gonna need a friend
Till I get used to losin' you
Let me keep on usin' you
Till I can make it on my own
Till I can make it on my own
