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'm gonna need a friend
Till I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using 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 come
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all
From time
To time
To time
But they say
Oh, there'll be a brighter day
But till then I'll lean on you
And that's all I mean to do
Till I can make it on my own
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Surely someday I'll wake up
And see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm alone

Over you
And all my crying's done
No more hurting memories to find me
But till then
Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
Till I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
To I can make it on my own
Till I can make it on my own
