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 know 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
