This song is lamenting a love that both members want, but that doesn’t quite work for some reason. The recurring message is that it shouldn’t be so difficult to be in love, but that they want to keep trying.
[Verse 1: Clyde Lawrence]
We could've done it
Girl, we nearly had it made
But near doesn't cut it
We ain't a horseshoe or a hand grenade
What is it you want me to say?
[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]
I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard
How can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard
[Verse 2: Gracie Lawrence]
Why do you reckon
Something's got a hold on me
Maybe I need a second
To think a little differently
Who is it you want me to be?
[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]
I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard
And how can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard
Try with me baby
[Bridge: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
[Chorus 2: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]
I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard
How can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard
I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard
How can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard
Try with me, baby
[Outro: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]
Try
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
