1. Well, you ask me if I'll forget my baby
   I guess I will some day
   I don't like it but I guess things happen that way
   
   You ask me if I'll get along
   I guess I will some way
   I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

R: God gave me that girl to lean on,
   Then he put me on my own
   Heaven help me be a man
   And have the strength to stand alone
   I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

2. You ask me if I'll miss her kisses
   I guess I will every day
   I don't like it but I guess things happen that way
   
   You ask me if I'll find another
   I don't know, I can't say
   I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

R: God gave me that girl to lean on...
