Til I Can Make It On My Own lyrics

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

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
And `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...
