Patti Austin
Any Way You Can
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
