You were my shoulder to lean on
What will I do when you're gone?
You who had all of the answers
Teach me how, teach me now

Teach me not to cry
When you say goodbye
Show me how I can respond
And get along
Without your lovin'

Teach me how to hide
The way that I feel inside
Show me how to let you go
Although I know
That I still love you

You were my shoulder to lean on
What will I do when you're gone?
You who had all of the answers
Teach me how (Teach me how), teach me now (teach me now)

Teach me how to face the world
Like a grown-up girl
Show me how to make believe
That I don't need
Your lovin', baby

Teach me how to face the world
Like a grown-up girl
Show me how to make believe
That I don't need
Your lovin', baby
