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, ooh, oh no

Then I tell myself I'll put you down
Don't want to see your face around
Don't call me up anymore
When I hear your voice it's in my ear
You're kissing 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, ooh, oh no

I try to tell myself
Don't need you anymore
Don't want you hanging 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
