[Lyrics]
You can make it if you try[x3]
Yeah, yeah you can make it if you try
Sometime you had to fall
Do you know sometime you want to cry
Does it make you feel so bad sometime
You want to lay down and die
Yeh, yeh, you can make it if you try, ummmmmmm
If you are baby treats you wrong
Do not run around being blue
Remember my friend
Everybody cannot win
Because you know sometime, sometime
You got to lose
You can make it if you try
They always told me
I could make it if I tried
I am going to make it if i try
Yeah, yeah, I am going to make it if I try
If you try
