To think that I'm the kind of guy   Whoever could have kept her   Would be taking too much credit on myself   And seeing us together you just knew that she'd look better with somebody else      And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me   I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need   Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need   Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need      You knew that we had plans for San Francisco in September   But I didn't see California in her eyes   And by the end of summer, someone made a better offer   You know, I'm not surprised      And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me   I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need   Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need   Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need      Just a quick goodbye   Nobody's crying, no nobody's crying   I always knew that I was just a comfort   In her time of need      And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me   I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need   Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need   Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need      And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me   I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need   Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need   Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need
