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
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
When I was a young boy, in the suburb of cedarwood
I wanted to be great
'Cause good would not be good enough
Now that I'm older
I don't see things any clearer
Nearer now, but still a long way off
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
(Can, you, hear, me, when, I) sing
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Hey now, gotta let you know
A house still don't make a home
Don't leave me here alone
(Leave me here)
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
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
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
When I was a young boy, in the suburb of cedarwood
I wanted to be great
'Cause good would not be good enough
Now that I'm older
I don't see things any clearer
Nearer now, but still a long way off
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
(Can, you, hear, me, when, I) sing
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it on your own
