I Tried

Tried for so long for you to hold on
 But you won't belong
 To anyone any thang, any love at all
 I thought we had it all
 Until things started to recede, yeah yeah
 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, no
 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
 Tried for so long for you to hold on
 But you won't belong
 To anyone any thang, any love at all
 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

 Tried for so long for you to hold on
 But you won't belong
 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
 Tried for so long for you to hold on
 But you won't belong
 To anyone any thang, any love at all
 Tried for so long for you to hold on
 But you won't belong
 To anyone any thang, any love at all
 Tried for so long for you to hold on
 But you won't belong
 To anyone any thang, any love at all
 Tried for so long
