[Verse 1]
If there's bad men tellin' you what to do
In the times when you're not worthless
If you're tryin' to break me down
Then you're doin' your best
Make it all go away
Baby, don't you sympathize

[Chorus]
Won't you try?

[Verse 2]
If there's times when you're not listenin'
Just because you're overwhelmed
When the world has let you down
And you've given a rest
Make it up to yourself
Maybe take your own advice

[Chorus]
Won't you try?
Won't you try?
Won't you try?
Won't you try?
(Won't you try?)
(Won't you try?)
[Bridge]
When the world has let you down
And you've given a rest
Make it up to yourself
Baby, don't you sympathize
And now's the time
Wading but they never sail
Make it all go away
Maybe take your own advice

[Chorus]
Won't you try?
Won't you try?
Won't you try?
Won't you try?
