We Can Make It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now you say you're gonna leave me
Why did you want, hey, 'til I was in love with you?
Girl, I've given you, given you, given you my all and all
You picked me up, yeah, just to let me fall

[Chorus]
And honey, you know (We can make it)
Whoa, if you wanna try (If you wanna try)
I want you to know (We can make it)
Oh yeah, baby (If you wanna try)

[Verse 2]
Whoa, I, girl, I can't live my life without you, no
Said not without you, baby, oh no
Girl, you oughta think about it sometime
Think about it, think about it before you leave me
Hey, listen to this
I say if you just look over your shoulder you'll see tears
Oh darling, I'm down on my knees

[Chorus]
And honey, you know (We can make it)
Oh, if you wanna try (If you wanna try)
And, oh, I know, I know, yeah (We can make it)
All you got to do is try, love (If you wanna try)
[Interlude]
Now, wait a minutе, let me talk to you for a minute
Girl, I'vе done the best I can
And that's all any woman can ask of any man
Now, I know you see your girlfriends wearing fine clothes and diamond rings
But let me tell you something
Fine clothes and diamond rings without someone to love ya
Or without someone for you to love just don't mean nothing
So remember this, whoa, whoa, oh

[Chorus]
(We can make it)
Said all you got to do is try, baby (If you wanna try)
And, oh, I know, I know, I know (We can make it)
Oh, if you wanna try, baby (If you wanna try)

[Outro]
Baby, one more thing I wanna tell you
Don't you know that I'll never (We can make it)
Said I'll never, said I'll never
Said I'll never, never stop loving you, baby (If you wanna try)
And oh, don't let nobody fool you, remember what I said (We can make it)
And oh, girl, yeah (If you wanna try)
Say it again, say it again, chillun, yeah, now (We can make it)
Oh, oh, if you wanna try, baby (If you wanna try)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
