I TRIED

I tried baby I really tried
Did the good guy thing

Bought a lay down ring
Ain't doing wrong for free

Ladies first open doors and all
Friday to next Monday stood tall
Fly on the wall said they had a ball
Say I like this better, sho' do!

I tried
Tried and tried
I tried
Yeah I tried
Tried didn't rhyme
Yeah I tried
Tried and tried
I tried

Spending money like a mad man gone crazy
Two cars at one time thinkin' 'bout a third girl
Passport tight insanely huge another mansion

I tried girl for real I tried
Finished last to call attention

Got a second job, bank account
Headed uptown fled the south

Met her parents and all the jazz
More on my mind than her pretty ass
They did note I had a degree of class
Say I like this better, sho' do!

Spending money like a mad man gone crazy
Two cars at one time thinkin' 'bout a third girl
Passport tight insanely huge another mansion

I tried
Tried and tried
I tried
Yeah I tried
Tried didn't rhyme
Yeah I tried
Tried and tried
I tried
