I Can’t Make It Alone Lyrics
[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 your side
Oh, I was so happy then
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away
Oh, baby
[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
There's something in my soul
That will always lead me back to you
[Verse 2]
What can I say now?
Sorry is 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?
Oh, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out for my dying soul?
And make me live again
Oh, baby, it's so hard
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 your side
Oh, I was so happy then
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away
Oh, baby
[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
There's something in my soul
That will always lead me back to you
[Verse 2]
What can I say now?
Sorry is 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?
Oh, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out for my dying soul?
And make me live again
Oh, baby, it's so hard
[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
There's something in my soul (In my soul)
That will always lead me back to you
[Bridge]
(I just can't make it by myself)
(Just can't make it by myself)
[Chorus]
Baby, help me
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
And I can't make it alone
There's something in my soul (In my soul)
That will always lead me back to you
[Outro]
Oh, help me
(Please help me)
You know I need you
(I need you)
I'm saying that I need you
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
I just can't make it all alone
(I just can't make it all alone)
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
Come on, baby
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
There's something in my soul (In my soul)
That will always lead me back to you
[Bridge]
(I just can't make it by myself)
(Just can't make it by myself)
[Chorus]
Baby, help me
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
And I can't make it alone
There's something in my soul (In my soul)
That will always lead me back to you
[Outro]
Oh, help me
(Please help me)
You know I need you
(I need you)
I'm saying that I need you
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
I just can't make it all alone
(I just can't make it all alone)
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
Come on, baby
