I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
(understand why)
Can I be your lonely man
You said you love me
So sincere that I believed you loved me
Yet I can't understand why
(understand why)
Can I be your lonely man
Day after day
You treat me any old way
I try to go but my soul heart says no
You act so strange
But my love still remains
It says keep on tryin' boy
She's gonna change
I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
(understand why)
Can I be your lonely man
Day after day
You treat me any old way
I try to go but my soul heart says no
You act so strange
But my love still remains
It says keep on tryin' boy
She's gonna change
Keep on trying
