The song talks about how Roy Woods loved a girl so much but the feeling was not mutual. He is confused on whether the girl is being nice to him or is flirting with him. He expresses how he could do better for her if she wasn’t with the person she is with now.
[Intro]
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
[Hook]
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (Love you)
Love you (Yeah)
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love—)
I was only tryin' to love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
[Verse 1]
Miss days of her laughter
But I've turned another chapter
In the 6 with my Raptors
Went ghost, now you calling me Casper
Could it be that it's not serious to me?
I stay with these
'Cause it hurt me way more to leave
Cutting ties after hot sex in the bathroom
Now that we're over I won't look at you
Feelings in my stomach like it's high school
I know there are other niggas looking at you
But you can't diss me on my set
You cuss me 'bout my text
Said it received, but not read
Twenty minutes later a paragraph or two
'Cause I'm only tryin' to love you
[Hook]
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (Yeah, yeah)
Love you
I was only tryin' to love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you
[Verse 2]
Naked (Naked)
Does he make love while you're naked? (Does he make love while you're naked?)
Do you never let him taste it? (Never let him taste it)
Does he fuck you like he loves you? (Baby)
Treat you good like a man should
Does he bathe you in the shower for you? (Never)
Does he do the things that I do? (Never)
That's to show you that I want you
I know how much I really love you
I can't-s put no one above you
I'm a lover man for you
You the down girl for me
Rolling blunts on your roof
Let my ex know about you
She can't do things you do
Inside and out the room
You're the only one that knew that
[Hook]
I was only tryin' to love you
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (Tryin' to love you)
Love you (Yeah)
I was only tryin' to love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
I was only tryin' to love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
Love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
[Outro]
I was only tryin' to love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
And you knew that I wanna love you (Only tryin' to love you)
Love you
Love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
Love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
Love (Tryin' to love you)
Love
Love (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
Love
Love (Only tryin' to love you)
Love
Love (Tryin' to love you)
Love you
Love you (Girl, I was only tryin' to love you)
Love you (I was only tryin' to love you)
