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
