If I don’t love you like you want me to do
(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)
And if I’m not there when you need talking to
(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)
I may not deny all the things I would do
But deep down in my soul, that’s what I want to do
I’m trying (Baby I’m trying)
Can’t you see that I’m trying, alright
And if I didn’t squeeze you, and give you all you need
(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)
You know you mean the whole world to me
(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)
That’s what keeps me trying
I may not deny all the things I would do
But deep down in my soul, that’s what I want to do
I’m trying (Baby I’m trying)
Can’t you see that I’m trying, alright
Those tumbling blood, [will black my back][?]
Whatever I got I want to give you half
I’ll give the world if I don’t succeed
It’s you I’m talking, you for me
If I don’t love you like you want me to do
(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)
And if I’m not there when you need talking to
(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)
Ooh I’m trying
I may not deny all the things I would do
But deep down in my soul, that’s what I want to do
I’m trying (Baby I’m trying)
Can’t you see that I’m trying, alright
I keep on trying
Every day and every night, oh
