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)
