You tell me how it was when you once knew him
He played his games with many women friends
You tell me that you don’t think I’d be with him
If I could have known him way back then

You ask me why I don’t pack up and leave him
Now that I know his wicked ways
Well I doubt that you could understand my thinking
But listen close to what I have to say

He’s the rock that I lean on
He is the sunshine of my day
And I don’t care what you say about him
He took me in and made me everything I am today
He’s my rock and I ain’t gonna throw him away

I know he wasn’t always what he is now
He had to make mistakes like everybody else
Don’t you point your finger at nobody
It’s plain to see you ain’t no saint yourself

He’s the rock that I lean on
He’s the sunshine of my day
And I don’t care what you say about him
He took me in and made me everything I am today
He’s my rock and I ain’t gonna throw him away
He’s my rock and I ain’t gonna throw him away
He’s my rock and I ain’t gonna throw him away
