I’ve Been Trying lyrics
by Curtis Mayfield
I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
Can't I be your only man
You say you love me
So sincere that I believe you loved me
Yet I can't understand why
Can't I be your only man
Day after day
You treat me any old way
I wanna go but my heart says no
You act so strange
But my love still remains
It says keep on trying, boy
She's gonna change
I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
Can't I be your only man
Keep on trying
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Keep on trying
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Gonna keep on trying, baby
Keep on trying
Gonna keep on trying, baby
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Gonna keep on trying, baby
Keep on trying
Gonna keep on trying, baby
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
