We Can't Make It No More - Don Covay

You walked outta my life

Now, you want back in, baby

Lord, I wish you were to stay

Where you been, girl

You turn me on and off

Like a neon sign, baby

You blew the fuse

Now the light won’t shine, girl

We can’t make it no more

We can’t make it no more

'Cause the love we has died

Ashes won’t start a fire

We can’t make it no more

You want me at home

Twiddlin' my thumbs, baby

Listen, but now I know

Where you comin' from, girl

Like a leading lady in Hollywood, baby

You played the scene

And you played it good, girl

(Hoo!)

We can’t make it, no more

I can’t take it, no more

Now you made your choice before

Now it’s mine for sure

We can’t make it, no more

(string instrumental)

Dat-dat, dat-dat

Dat-dat, dat-dat

Dat-dat

Dat-dat, dat-dat

Dat-dat, dat-dat

Daa

Just like two lovers in a fairytale, baby

The beginnin' was good

But the ending failed, girl

We can’t make it, no more

We can’t make it, no more

'Cause the love we had has died

Ashes won’t start a fire

We can’t make it, no more

Oh baby, now

(We can’t make it, no more)

We can’t make it, no more

(I say, now)

I said we can’t make it, baby

(I said we can’t)

No we can’t

(Make it no more)

Lord, I tried to do

But I, need some hope

(We can’t make it no more, baby)

A-we can’t make it, no more

(We can’t make it no more, yeah (girl)

We can’t make it no more

(We can’t make it no more)

FADES-

The love we had has gone

(We can’t make it no more)
