Can't make it without you, Oh God
Can't make it without you, Oh God
Can't make it without you, Oh God

Trust me, trust me, trust me when I say

Can't make it without you, Oh God
Can't make it without you, Oh God
Can't make it without you, Oh God
Can't make it without you, Oh God
(I tried and failed)
Can't make it without you, Oh God
(No way I can make it)
Can't make it without you, Oh God
(No way, No way)
Can't make it without you, Oh God
Can't make it without you, Oh God
By Myself, It won't work
