Have You Ever Tried It Songtext
von Ashford & Simpson

Have you ever tried it for yourself?
Still gettin′ it second hand from someone else
Have you really put your mind into it?
Use your heart and soul to get through it
Hopin' someone touches hope
Do you leave it?
Do you leave it alone, yeah

Have you ever tried it for yourself?
Still takin′ the words of someone else
Ooh-whoo-ooh
Do you ever let go of your pride
And listen to the voice inside
Or are you in it just for play?
And when it's serious, do you look the other way, yeah

Have you ever tried it? (whoo-ooh)
Have you ever tried it? (whoa yeah)
Have you ever tried it for yourself?


Have you really put your mind into it?
And use your heart and soul to get through it
Hopin' someone touches hope
Do you leave it? (do you leave it?)
Do you leave it alone? (do you leave it alone?)

Have you ever tried it for yourself?
(Ooh-ooh)

Ooh (ooh), ooh (ooh yeah)

Have you ever tried it for yourself?
Ooh-hoo (oh)
Still gettin′ it second hand from someone else
Oh yeah
Have you ever tried it? (have you ever tried it?)
Have you ever tried it? (oh babe)
Have you ever tried it for yourself?
Still takin′ the words of somebody else (someone else)
Have you ever tried it for yourself?
Oh yeah, oh
Still gettin' it second hand from someone else
Have you tried it, baby, yeah
Have you ever tried it? (have you tried it, baby, baby, baby, yeah)
