I Cannot Make It
I cannot make it
I'm so hip
If I make it 'til tomorrow I'll be surprised
(I'll be surprised, I'll be surprised)
I am left with all the sorrow, look at my eyes, girl
(Look at my eyes, look at my eyes)
I been thinkin', I been fooled
There've been times when I've blown my cool
Said, I love her
(Can't let her get away)
Said, I love her
(Won't be a fool today)
The very next line will blow my mind, girl
(Will blow my mind, will blow my mind)
Yes, I love her but she's takin' all the time
(All the time, all the time)
I will not accept another
I would rather be her brother
Said, I love her
(Can't let her get away)
Said, I love her
(Won't be a fool today)
Wanna keep me cryin' (oh yeah)
Sighin' (oh yeah), dyin' (uh-huh)
Lyin' (yeah, yeah)
Wanna keep me, wanna keep me (yeah, yeah)
Cryin' (oh yeah), sighin' (oh yeah), dyin'
Lyin' (uh-huh, oh yeah)
I wanna hear you say
If I cannot keep a watch on your daily news
(Your daily news, your daily news)
I might lose my head from havin' all these blues
(All these blues, all these blues)
I know then, that I shouldn't
Plus the fact I probably couldn't
I said, I love her
(Can't let her get away)
Said, I love her
(Won't be a fool today)
Wanna keep me cryin' (oh yeah)
Sighin' (uh-huh), dyin' (oh yeah)
Lyin' (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Wanna keep me cryin' (oh yeah)
Sighin' (oh), dyin' (yeah, yeah)
Lyin' (yeah, yeah)
I cannot make it
I'm so hip, oh yeah
I'm so hip
If I make it 'til tomorrow I'll be surprised
(I'll be surprised, I'll be surprised)
I am left with all the sorrow, look at my eyes, girl
(Look at my eyes, look at my eyes)
I been thinkin', I been fooled
There've been times when I've blown my cool
