You know I tried
You know I tried
You know I tried
You know I tried
You know I tried
Yeah, You know I really tried baby
So listen,
I tried
Oh girl what I dont understand is
Why you wanna trip so hard
Cuz 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 dont understand is
That you said youd hold me down
But now youre running around town
Talking bout I aint shit
But baby girl I did my best
Girl I tried
To give you all my time
But it wasnt enough for you
(It wasnt enough for you)
You wanted more than I can give
(You wanted more than I can give)
I really tried
(I really tried baby)
But now youre switching sides
Can you tell me why?
(Can you tell me why?)
Tell me why
Now baby I,
Rally love you, you, you, you, you, you
And everything I did it was all for who? You
Said you wanted you a real love
But I didnt want enough
Not enough of you
Said you wanted you a real love
But I didnt want enough
Not enough of you
But I know I can say that [I tried]
Girl I tried
To give you all my time
(To give you all my time)
But it wasnt enough for you
You wanted more than I can give
(You wanted more than I can give)
I really tried
But now youre switching sides
(Now your switching sides baby)
Can you tell me why?
(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 wouldnt leave me alone
Girl I tried
To give you all my time
[Im trying to give you all my time]
But it wasnt enough for you
[Never enough]
You wanted more than I can give
[It wasnt enough]
[Never enough]
I really tried
But now youre switching sides
Can you tell me why?
(Can you tell me why?)
Tell me why
You know I tried
You know I tried
You know I tried
