I’m Trying Lyrics by Johnnie Taylor

Who’s Making Love

0

[Chorus]
If I don't love you like you want me to do
Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying
And if I'm not fair when you need talking to
I'm trying, I'm trying
[Verse 1]
Every day in the week, I mean seven days
Just to love you in so many ways
I'm trying, baby, can't you see I'm trying, oh yeah
And if I don't please ya and give you all you need
I'm trying, I'm trying
You know you mean the whole world to me
And that's what keeps me trying, I'm trying
[Refrain]
I may not provide all you're entitled to
But deep down in my soul
That's what I want to do
I'm trying, baby, can't you see I'm trying, oh yeah
[Bridge]
No stumbling blocks can block my plan
Whatever I got I'll run and give you half
And in the world if I don't succeed
...you and me
[Chorus]
If I don't love you like you want me to do (Baby, I'm...)
Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying
If I'm not there when you need talking to (Baby, I'm...)
Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying
[Refrain]
I may not provide all you're entitled to
But deep down in my soul
That's what I wanna do
I keep on trying, baby, can't you see I'm trying
Oh yes I am, girl
[Outro]
I'm trying, huh, Lord have mercy
Can't you see that I am trying
Every day when I get up and go to work, I'm trying
I'm trying to make you happy
Lord, I'm trying
You know you mean the world to me
