the rock i'm leaning on

when i wake up in the morning

you're the first thing on my mind

and i don't know why he treated you unkind

to him you were only another stepping stone

but to me you're the rock i'm leaning on

the rock that i am leaning on

was always in his way

and i won't ever understand

why he threw you away

to him you were only another stepping stone

but to me you're the rock i'm leaning on

you're my most prized possession

you were nothing at all to him

when he gave you up i took the best part of his life

if he had loved you better

you wouldn't be here in my arms

oh but now you're the rock i'm leaning on

the rock that i am leaning on

was always in his way

and i won't ever understand

why he threw you away

to him you were only another stepping stone

but to me you're the rock i'm leaning on
