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

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

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

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
