Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own  (U2)

Tough, you think you've got the stuff 

You're telling me and anyone 

You're hard enough 

You don't have to put up a fight 

You don't have to always be right 

Let me take some of the punches 

For you tonight 

Listen to me now 

I need to let you know 

You don't have to go it alone 

And it's you when I look in the mirror 

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

We fight all the time 

You and I...that's alright 

We're the same soul 

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say 

That if we weren't so alike 

You'd like me a whole lot more 

Listen to me now 

I need to let you know 

You don't have to go it alone 

And it's you when I look in the mirror 

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

I know that we don't talk 

I'm sick of it all 

Can - you - hear - me - when - I - 

Sing, you're the reason I sing 

You're the reason why the opera is in me... 

Where are we now? 

I've got to let you know 

A house still doesn't make a home 

Don't leave me here alone... 

And it's you when I look in the mirror 

And it's you that makes it hard to let go 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

Sometimes you can't make it 

The best you can do is to fake it 

Sometimes you can't make it on your own
