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
