Words and music by robin zander

Well I saw you today and realized

How I missed my peace of mind

I feel your breath in my ear

But late at night it's you I always think about

That little girl inside of you I once knew

I should have known better

Still the smell of you was on my face

But you were too busy

To notice me last night

Now I can't take it alone

I can't make it alone

I can't take it

I can't make it alone

Oh no, oo, oh no

Then I tell myself I'll put you down

Don't wanna see your face around

Don't call me up anymore

When I hear your voice it's in my ear

You're kissin' on the phone

It makes it all come clear

Now I can't take it alone

I can't make it alone

I can't take it

I can't make it alone

Oh no, oh, oh no

I try to tell myself

Don't need you anymore

Don't want you hangin' around my door, oh no

Now I can't take it alone

I can't make it alone

I can't take it alone

I can't make it alone

I can't take it alone

I can't make it alone

If it's wrong or right

I can't take it, I can't make it alone

You know how I tried

I can't take it, I can't make it alone

I try tell myself don't need you anymore

I can't take it alone, I can't make it alone

Oh baby, my pretty baby

I can't take it alone, I can't make it alone
