(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
