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

[Verse 2]

Before I left your side

Ooh, I was so happy then

But I've been so lonely

Since I've been away, oh, baby

[Verse 3]

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 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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 7]

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

That will always lead me back to you

[Verse 8]

Oh, help me, you know I need you

I'm saying that I need you

I just can't make it by myself

I just can't make it all alone

I just can't make it by myself
