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
