Leaning on You

Joe South

[Verse 1]
Not so long ago I walked alone
And made decisions on my own
There was a time I stood up like a man
But now, I don't know if I can

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when I'm holding your hand
I'm holding my breath
If I thought you'd ever leave me
It would scare me to death
It's sad but true
But what can I do?
What can I do?

[Chorus]
I'm leaning on you
Leaning on you too much
I'm leaning on you
Leaning on you too much

[Verse 2]
Every little breath I take
And every single step I take
Any time I make the slightest move
Depends on whether you approve

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when I'm holding your hand
I'm holding my breath
If I thought you'd ever leave me
It would scare me to death
It's sad but true
But what can I do?
What can I do?

[Chorus]
I believe I'm leaning on you
Leaning on you too much
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
I'm leaning on you
Leaning on you too much

[Outro]
Everybody says that I'm
Leaning on you, leaning on you too much
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
I'm leaning on you, leaning on you
