I Tried
I tried, tried to impress you
My love, I gave it all
Each hour ever at your beck and call

I tried, tried to caress you
My soul filled with desire
Two arms craving the one I admire

Your charm was so appealing
I loved you from the start
There's still that same old feeling
Concealed here in my heart

I tried making you love me
And you couldn't decide
But I'll never regret that I tried
And tried and tried
