Well, you tell me how she was when you once knew her
How she played her games with many, many men
And you tell me that you don't think I'd be with her
If I could just have known her back then
Lord, you ask me why I don't pack up and leave her
Now that I know about her wicked ways
Well, I doubt that you could understand my thinking
Oh, but listen close to what I have to say

She's the rock that I lean on
She's the sunshine of my day
And I don't care what you say about her
Lord, she took me in and made me everything I am today

She's my rock and I ain't a-gonna throw her away

I know she wasn't always what she is now
Lord, she had to make mistakes like everybody else
And don't you point your finger at nobody
It's plain to see that you ain't no saint yourself

She's the rock that I lean on
She's the sunshine of my day
And I don't care what you say about her
Lord, she took me in and made me everything I am today

She's my rock and I ain't a-gonna throw her away
Yes, she's my rock and I ain't gonna throw her away
Yes, she's my rock and I ain't gonna throw her away
