I Can Make It If You Can Lyrics - The Boomtown Rats - Boomtown Rats

Somewhere a screen door slammed 

Somewhere, someplace, somebody's killing a man 

Down the road I'm told five people died 

And I wonder are you making love to anyone tonight. 

Cos she and I, we're still sitting here 

Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears 

She said lets talk about the future, lets forget about the past 

Did I forget to tell you time never lasts, 

CHORUS: 

Can I hold on that long 

Is it worth the same old stringalong 

There's been a few rights but there's plenty wrongs 

I can make it if you can. 

Don't trust anything, especially love 

Be careful of the broken bottles on the wall above. 

They burn your brain and they tear at your mind 

I know I won't be making love to anyone tonight. 

Cos she and I we're still sitting here 

Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears. 

Don't talk about the future, please don't talk about the past 

Lets forget about the present, it makes me want to laugh. 

REPEAT CHORUS
