I Try Songtext
von Macy Gray

You know baby
I try to love you the best I can
I try to kiss you the best I can
I try to make love to you the best I can
But you are only human and so you′re never satisfied
It is never enough, if I said, "I love you" a hundred times
You'd want me to say it a hundred more
If I say I wanna fuck ten times, you want me to say
"I want you to do it 11"
If I said, "Baby I′ll do the laundry tonight"
You'd say, "Baby do the dishes too"
If I said, "Baby, I'll pay your rent this month"
You′d say, "Will you buy me a new car too?"


So I′m walkin' out the door, I′m leavin'
′Cause I can't take it no more
And I was walkin′ out the door
And my man stopped me at the door
And he said, "Baby sing me that song one more time
Before you go"
And I said...

I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together baby
But we're not

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I′ll keep my cool, but I′m fiendin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I′m just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey


I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I′m dreaming of you, babe!
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm fiendin′

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble (it′s alright)
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here

Here is my confession
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
Deny

Well I play it off, but I′m dreaming of you
(I'm dreaming of you babe)
And I′ll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble (it′s alright)
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Get down!

Woah, oh, hey-hey
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, baby
I try, baby, but I can′t
Walk away from you, you
But I was walkin' out the door (baby)
And this is what he said, he said (baby)

It′s all because of you
I'm feelin′ sad and blue
You went away, now my life
Is filled with rainy days
And I love you so
How much, you'll never know
Don't take your love away from me
Oh, oh, oh...

There are three things that I have learnt about you tonight
LA Yahoo music dot com
And that is that
You are so beautiful when you wave your hands in the air
Like you just don′t care
You are especially beautiful
When you shake your ass, shake your ass

You are especially, especially beautiful
When you throw your head back
Look up to the heavens
And scream so God can hear you (woo)
So when things get confusing (oh)
When you get scared, when you don′t know what to do
You just be beautiful, okay? Okay? Okay? Okay

In the meantime, in between time
As long as you love God, love yourself, and love the ones you love
Then guess what, guess what (what) guess what
Everything's gonna be alright, he said

Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, now
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, now
Everything′s gonna be alright (yeah, yeah)
Everything's gonna be alright, now (yeah, yeah)
When I get high

Goodbye and I choke (hey!)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Thank you! Thank you!
