number One - Country Chart; Number Eleven - Pop Chart


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

chorus
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

chorus
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
