"We Just Can't Make It" lyrics

We both tried with all our hearts
To postpone the day when we would have to part
I tried to tell myself, oh, it just ain't so
But it's too late, baby, because we both know

That we just can't make it
We just can't make it, baby
I guess it just wasn't meant to be, oh no

The signs were there all along the way
But we refused to listen to what they had to say
Even our friends tried to tell us our affair wouldn't last
But we refused to listen, we said we'll see as time'll pass

But we just can't make it
We just can't make it, baby
I guess it just wasn't meant to be, oh no

Many people refuse to admit
That their love affair's come to an end, oh yes they do
But I refuse to waste any more of our time
I'm just gonna hope I've got myself a real good friend

'Cause we just can't make it
We just can't make it, baby
I guess it just wasn't meant to be, oh, listen

Now is the time for us to clear the air
'Cause you know that friendships always outlast love affairs
Let's leave the trouble of our past behind
And just be thankful that we found out in time

That we just can't make it
We just can't make it, baby
I guess it just wasn't meant to be, oh
We just can't make it, baby
Not you and me, oh
It just wasn't meant to be, oh
Wasn't meant to be, ooh-hoo
Not you and me, we're just...
