You know I tried, you know I tried, yeah

You know I tried, you know I tried, yeah, yeah

You know I tried, yeah you know I rally tried baby

So listen, I tried



Oh girl what I don't understand is why you wanna trip so hard?

'Cause you know I got a good full time job

And when on the road making doe

You can get anything you want from me



But what you don't understand is

That you said you'd hold me down

But now you're running around town talking 'bout I ain't shit

But baby girl I did my best



Girl I tried to give you all my time but it wasn't enough for you

You wanted more than I could give

I really tried but now you're switching sides

Can you tell me why baby? Tell me why?



Now baby I, I really love you, you, you, you, you, you

And everything I did it was all for who? You

Said you wanted you a real love

What I did wasn't enough, not enough of you, no



Said you wanted you a real love

What I did wasn't enough, not enough of you

But I know I can say that I tried



Girl I tried to give you all my time but it wasn't enough for you

You wanted more than I could give

I really tried and now you're switching sides

Can you tell me why? Tell me why?

Play



You know I tried, you know I tried

You know I tried, I know I did everything I could

And baby I really wish you wouldn't leave me alone



Girl I tried to give you all my time but it wasn't enough for you

You wanted more than I could give

I really tried but now you're switching sides

Can you tell me why? Tell me why?



You know I tried, you know I tried

You know I tried
