I had always been an independent man
And I never thought I'd need a helping hand
I thought I was strong as any man could be
Then you told me, dear, that you're leaving me
And I'm not strong enough, I'm not strong enough
Without you, dear, I just can't carry on
When I think of all the sweet things you have done
Then I'm not strong enough to live my life alone
I had never thought I needed anything
'Til the day you gave me back your wedding ring
I have learned enough to last my whole life through
And I'm not strong enough to live it without you
I'm not strong enough, I'm not strong enough
Without you, dear, I just can't carry on
When I think of all the sweet things you have done
Then I'm not strong enough to live my life alone
I'm not strong enough to live my life alone
