I Tried

[Chorus] Tried for so long

For you to hold on

But you won't be long

To anyone

Any thang, any love

At all [Verse I]

I thought we had it all

Until things started to receed

Giving me no love at all

Not caring enough about my needs

Gave you my heart and all my soul

But not once did

I let go And

I tried To stick by you

And I tried to call

To let you know

That I'm here for you

And I'm give my all [Chorus]

Tried for so long

For you to hold on

But you want belong

To anyone

Any thang, any love

At all [Verse II]

You had the best love of you life

But you didn't treat it right

No you didn't

No you didn't girl

To busy running out all night long

Didn't even have the decency to just

Pick up the telephone

And just call me

And let me know where you were

And that your alright

So I can sleep at night

Girl you showed out so

Had the nerve to break up our happy home

All I wanna do

Is do for you [Chorus]

Tried for so long

For you to hold on

But you want be long

To anyone

Any thang, any love

At all I stood by your side

Sheltered for you

When things were down

I help pull you through

Faithful and all

Trusting and warm

But you took heart by storm [Chorus] [Repeat]
