[Intro] [Verse] I cried the day you left me and I still don’t know what kept me From jumping off the highest bridge I know. My poor heart was breaking I felt lower than a snake-and - That is just about the lowest you can go. I finally stopped my drinking fell down and started thinking - That it don’t pay to relive yesterday. I tried to hide my sorrow started living for tomorrow - I think I’m gonna make it all the way. [Verse] You hurt me and abused me took advantage of and used me - I swear it almost made a wreck of me. When I needed your devotion you were never in the notion - You were cold as any iceberg in the sea. Love to you had lost its splendor my pride went out the window When you left me I kept begging you to stay. But now my heart is healing and I got a real good feeling - I think I’m gonna make it all the way. [Key Change] [Verse] My troubles came in bunches I kept rolling with the punches You’d shoot me down and I’d get back again. I tried to be your lover in no time I did discover - Your loving cup was not for me to win. Your kisses weren’t the same but I kept try’n’to fan the flame - ’Til I just couldn’t take another day. You can’t blame me for trying now I stopped my crying I think I’m gonna make it all the way. [Key Change] [Verse] I tried my best to fake it but a smiling face don’t make it ’Cause in my heart I knew there was no hope. Each place reminded me of the memories of your love - I’ve come right to the end of my rope. That’s when I met my new friend she’s just as much a true friend - Treats me like a lover here to stay. And it’s working out so well now - you can go to hell now! This time I’m gonna make it all the way -               [Outro] Yeah this time I’ll make it all the way                I think I’m gonna make it all the way!
