I Try Lyrics by Angela Bofill

The Definitive Collection

1979

I try to do the best I can for you
But it seems it's not enough
And you know I care even when you're not there
But it's not what you want
You close your door when I wanna give you more
And I feel, I feel so out of place
And you know it's true
Don't you think I'm good enough for you?
And can't you see that you're hurting me?
And I want, I want this pain to stop
So if you really care
I mean if you really, really care
Well, then open up your heart to me
Open up to me, me
You know that I tried to be with you
And you know that I wanted to see it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
It was just a matter of time
You know that I tried to be with you
(You know that I tried)
You know that I wanted to make it through
(Make it through to you)
You know that I needed to make you mine
It was only a matter of time
(Caught in the hands of time, work it out)
You know that I tried to be with you
(And I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried)
You know that I wanted to see it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
And it was only a matter of time
Ah, you know that I tried to be with you
Ah, you know that I needed to see it through
