[Verse 1]
The day he walked away
My heart said, "Try not to cry"
Though I tried the tears came anyway
Well, my heart keeps tellin' me
[Verse 2]
Yes, it seems like a thousand years
I feel those lonely nights and those lonely tears, now
I now guess there's nothin' I can say
And my heart keeps tellin' me to
[Chorus]
"Try to forget him, but uh
Try, you know he didn't love you
And a new love will surely come your way"
My heart keeps tellin' me
"Try to forget him, won't you?"
"Try, you know he didn't love you"
But I still want him anyway
[Verse 3]
Hey-hey, and now, I'm layin' on my tear-drenched a-pillow
I'm just a-wonder what tomorrow will bring
A-will it get me a-filled with sorrow and the same old thing
My heart keeps tellin' me, now
[Chorus]
"Try to forget him
Try, you know he didn't love you
And a new love has got to come your way"
My heart keeps tellin' me
"Try to forget him, won't ya?"
"Try, you know he didn't love you"
But I still love him anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I still love him, little heart
Can't you hear my tryin'?
I'm tryin' so oh hard to forget him
Yes, indeed
Yes, I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' so oh hard
I'm tryin' right now
