'til I Can Make It On My Own Lyrics

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, you know I'll need a friend

'Till 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 that 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 lean on you, that's all I mean to do,

'Til I can make it on my own



Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning 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 can 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.
