Any Way You Can

(album: Patti Austin - 1984)

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 reaping what we sow
Seems like there ain't no such thing
'Cause you can't ask for nothing 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
