Try, try, try just a little bit harder
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
Well, I'm gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder
So I won't lose, lose, lose him to nobody else
Hey! Well, I don't care how long it's gonna take you now
If it's a dream I don't want
No I don't really want it
If it's a dream I don't want nobody to wake me
Yeah, I'm gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder
So I can give, give, give, give him every bit of my soul
Yeah, I'm gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder
So I can show, show, show him love with no control
Hey! I've waited so long for someone so fine
I ain't gonna lose my chance, no, I don't wanna lose it
Ain't gonna lose my chance, to make you mine, all mine
All right, get it! Yeah!
Try, yeah, try, yeah, hey, hey, hey, try yeah
Oh try, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh anybody, oh anybody, oh anybody
Try, oh, yeah (just a little bit harder)
Whoa I gotta try some more
I said try, yeah, aw I said try
I said try, try, try, try, try, try
Oh, try, oh, yeah, try, oh, yeah!
Hey hey, I gotta talk to my man now
You know I, I gotta feel for my man now
I said I, I gotta work for my man now
You know I, I gotta hurt for my man now
I think every day for my man now
You know it, every way for my man now
I say try, try, yeah, oh, try, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, try, yeah, hey, oh, try
