Now you know me,
You know how proud I am
What I'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say
Oh, before I left you
But I was a happy man
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away.
Well, I've tried and I know
That 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.
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
Oh, but who else can I turn to?
Baby, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out to a dying man
And let him live again,
Hey, baby, now
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, lead me back to you.
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Won't you help me, girl
Girl, I need you
I'm saying that I need you, girl
I just can't make it alone
I'm tried and weak them came by myself
I can't go on give by my side.
