Any Way You Can - Patti Austin

Any way you can

Anything you have to do

Anything you need to survive

Any way I can

That’s what I will do to stay alive

Across the river deep

I cry myself to sleep

But that won’t bring you back

Into my life

Still I can hear you say, child

Anything you can to stay alive

But when you need someone

Like I need someone

Then you need someone

To catch you when you fall

When you need someone

Like I need someone

…Anyone at all

But when you need someone

Like I need someone

Then you need someone

To help you when you fall

When you need someone

Like I need someone

… Anyone at all

As for reapin' what we sow

Seems like there ain’t no such thing

'Cause you can’t ask for nothin' in return

Any way you can

Just about the only way you learn

Just about the only way you learn

Just about the only way you learn

Just about the only way you learn
