'Til I Can Make It On My Own

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

'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'll 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

And 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 crying's done

No more hurtin' memories to find me

But 'til then

Lord, You 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 can make it on my own
