Lyrics Sly & The Family Stone

Sly & The Family Stone

I Cannot Make It

I cannot make it!

I'm so hip!

If I make till tomorrow I'll be surprised

(I'll be surprised, I'll be surprised)

I am left with all the sorrow, look at my eyes, girl

(Look at my eyes, look at my eyes)

I been thinkin' I been fooled

There've been times when I've blown my cool

Said I love her

Get, get, get away

Said I love her

Don't be a fool today

The very next line will blow my mind, girl

(Will blow my mind, will blow my mind)

Yes, I love her but she's takin' all the time

(All the time, all the time)

I will not accept another

I would rather be her brother

Said I love her

Get, get, get away

Said I love her

Don't be a fool today

Wanna keep me

Cryin', sighin', dyin' (yeah yeah)

Cryin'

Wanna keep me (yeah yeah)

Cryin', sighin', dyin' (yeah yeah)

I wanna hear you say

If I cannot keep a watch on your daily news

(Your daily news, your daily news)

I might lose my head from havin' all these blues

(All these blues, all these blues)

I know then, that I shouldn't

Plus the fact I probably couldn't

Say I love her

Get, get, get away

Said I love her

Won't be a fool today

Wanna keep me

Cryin', sighin', dyin' (yeah yeah)

Cryin'

Wanna keep me (yeah yeah)

Cryin', sighin', dyin' (yeah yeah)

I cannot make it!

I'm so hip!
