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 ya know i ll 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 morning sun without another lonely night behind me then i ll know i m over you and all my cryings done no more hurting memories can find me but till 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
