I Can't Make It Alone

[Verse 1] Now you know me You know how proud I am And what I'm gonna tell you now Won't be easy to say Before I left you I was a happy man But I've been so lonely Since I've been away [Chorus] And girl, I tried and I know I can't make it alone It's such a hard way to go I just can't make it alone And there's something in my soul (My soul) That will always (Always) Lead me back to you [Verse 2] What can I say now? Sorry's just not good enough I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now The way I hurt you then But who else can I turn to? Baby, I'm begging you Won't you reach out to a dying man And make him live again? [Chorus] And girl, I tried and I know I can't make it alone It's such a hard way to go I just can't make it alone There's something in my soul (My soul) That will always (Always) Lead me back to you [Bridge] That sea of faces Those painted eyes and phony smiles They're only jive (They're only jive) Only half alive (Only half alive) They just don't care (Just don't care) There's nothing for me there (Nothing for me there) Or anywhere (or anywhere) Without you (Without you) Without you (Without you) Without you (Without you) Here, girl [Chorus] I've tried and I know I can't make it alone It's such a hard way to go I just can't make it alone And there's something in my soul (My soul) That will always (Always) Lead me back to you [Outro] Help me Girl, I need you I'm sayin' that I need you, girl I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself) I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself) I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself) I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)
