I can’t make it if you can’t

So open up your mind
As will as your heart

I know that I could love you
‘cause you kissed me with your eyes
but you ain’t got the strength to make it with me
I can’t sympathize
I can’t make it if
I can’t take it if you can’t
I know that you’re heart strong
I know that you hold on
Listen

I can’t make it without you
You know it’s true girl
fade out on
