ROOMFUL OF BLUES
"I Tried"
(Larry Davis / Don Robey / Joseph Scott)

I tried, pretty baby
You know I tried to treat you nice
I tried, pretty baby
You know I tried to treat you nice
I tried it more than once
I even tried it more than twice

You made me love you, baby
You made me love you from the start
You made me love you, darlin'
You made me love you from the start
You gave me sweet tender kisses
But you never gave me your heart

You make my poor heart bleed
And my tears come down like rain
You make my poor heart bleed
And my tears come down like rain
You know, sometimes I wonder, darlin'
Was my lovin' all in vain

You made me love you, baby
You made me love you from the start
You made me love you, darlin'
You made me love you from the start
You gave me sweet tender kisses
But you never gave me your heart

You make my poor heart bleed
And my tears come down like rain
You make my poor heart bleed
And my tears come down like rain
You know, sometimes I wonder, darlin'
Was my lovin' all in vain

Oh, I tried, baby
I tried
