Curtis Mayfield
I’ve Been Trying
[Chorus]
I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
Can't I be your only man

[Verse 1]
You say you love me
So sincere that I believe you loved me
Yet I can't understand why
Can't I be your only man

[Bridge]
Day after day
You treat me any old way
I wanna go but my heart says no
You act so strange
But my love still remains
It says keep on trying, boy
She's gonna change

[Chorus]
I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
Can't I be your only man
[Outro]
Keep on trying
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Keep on trying
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Keep on trying
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Keep on trying
