You know I tried, you know I tried, yeah
You know I tried, you know I tried, yeah, yeah
You know I tried, yeah you know I rally tried baby
So listen, I tried

Oh girl what I don`t understand is why you wanna trip so hard?
`Cause you know I got a good full time job
And when on the road making doe
You can get anything you want from me

But what you don`t understand is
That you said you`d hold me down
But now you`re running around town talking `bout I ain`t s**t
But baby girl I did my best

Girl I tried to give you all my time but it wasn`t enough for you
You wanted more than I could give
I really tried but now you`re switching sides
Can you tell me why baby? Tell me why?

Now baby I, I really love you, you, you, you, you, you
And everything I did it was all for who? You
Said you wanted you a real love
What I did wasn`t enough, not enough of you, no

Said you wanted you a real love
What I did wasn`t enough, not enough of you
But I know I can say that I tried

Girl I tried to give you all my time but it wasn`t enough for you
You wanted more than I could give
I really tried and now you`re switching sides
Can you tell me why? Tell me why?
Play

You know I tried, you know I tried
You know I tried, I know I did everything I could
And baby I really wish you wouldn`t leave me alone

Girl I tried to give you all my time but it wasn`t enough for you
You wanted more than I could give
I really tried but now you`re switching sides
Can you tell me why? Tell me why?

You know I tried, you know I tried
You know I tried
