I'll need time
To get you off my mind
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 ya know I'm gonna need a friend

Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using 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

Oh there'll be a brighter day
But til then I'll lean on you
That's all I mean to do

Til I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll wake 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 to find me


But til then
Lord ya know I'm gonna need a friend

Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Til I can make it on my own

Til I cn make it on my own
