Now you know me
And 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 you've been away

And, girl, 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
Being sorry's just not good enough
I wouldn'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
Please reach out to a dying man
And let him live again

Oh baby, well 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
Cause there's somethin' in my soul
It will always lead me back to you

I just can't make it by myself

'Cause, girl, 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

Help me
Girl, I need you
Please, help me
