Don’t Try Again [Demo-Version]
[Intro]
Okay, these next two songs are, um
More— or actually, straddled between folk and pop music
First one's a song called "Don't try again"

[Verse 1]
Tell me where you been, baby, tell me where you've gone
Tell me everything you've done, but babe, don't put me on
Don't try again, I've been there once before

[Verse 2]
Well, I've learned a thing or two since you tossed me on the ground
I tried to raise you up, but babe, you let me down
So don't try again, I've been there once before

[Chorus]
Don't you tell me that you changed your mind
Don't you say you wanna try one other time
Don't you crawl back on your hands and on your knees
When a love starts growin' cold, it's gonna freeze

[Verse 3]
So don't tell me that you're fussin', 'bout to sing another tune
If you're reachin' up to me, babe, you're reachin' for the moon
So don't try again, I've been there once before
[Chorus]
Don't you tell me that you've gone and changed your mind
Don't you say you wanna try one other time
Don't you crawl back on your hands and on your knees
When a love starts growin' cold, babe, it's gonna freeze

[Verse 3]
So don't tell me that you're fussin', 'bout to sing another tune
If you're reachin' up to me, babe, you're reachin' for the moon
So don't try again, I've been there once before

[Outro]
Don't try again, I've been there once before
