You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try, yeah, yeah
You can make it if you try
Sometime you had to fall
Don't you know sometime you want to cry
Don't it make you feel so bad sometime you
want to lay down and die?
Yeah, yeah - you can make it if you try
If your baby treats you wrong
Don't run around being blue
Remember my friends, everybody can't win
'Cause you know sometimes, sometimes you've

They always told me I could make it if I tried
I'm going to make it if i try, yeah, yeah
I'm going to make it if I try
If you try
