You can make it if you try
You can make it if you just try
'Cause you're going to live on until you die
Wow, oh, you can make it if you try
Sometimes you'll have to lie
Sometime, sometime you may have to cry
But oh, you can make it if you try, ohohoh
You can make it if you try
Oh yes you can
Now if your old baby
Treat you wrong, listen
Don't run around
And just sing the blues
But oh you can never my friend, listen
Everybody can't win, listen
Don't you know somebody
Somebody got to loose
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you just try
Listen
You can make it if, if you try, ohhh
You can make it if you try
Oh yes you can, haha
Yeah
Hahahaha
Haha huh huh
