(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)

 

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

Ooh, I was so happy then

But I've been so lonely

Since I've been away

Oh, 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

That will always

Lead me back to you

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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
