Lyrics for I Tried

Tried for so long for you to hold on But you won't belong To anyone any thang, any love at all I thought we had it all Until things started to recede, yeah yeah Giving me no love at all Not caring enough about my needs Gave you my heart and all my soul But not once did I let go, no And I tried to stick by you And I tried to call to let you know That I'm here for you and I'm give my all Tried for so long for you to hold on But you won't belong To anyone any thang, any love at all You had the best love of you life But you didn't treat it right No you didn't no you didn't girl To busy running out all night long Didn't even have the decency to just Pick up the telephone and just call me And let me know where you were And that your alright so I can sleep at night Girl you showed out so Had the nerve to break up our happy home All I wanna do is do for you Tried for so long for you to hold on But you won't belong To anyone any thang, any love at all I stood by your side sheltered for you When things were down I help pull you through Faithful and all trusting and warm But you took heart by storm Tried for so long for you to hold on But you won't belong To anyone any thang, any love at all Tried for so long for you to hold on But you won't belong To anyone any thang, any love at all Tried for so long for you to hold on But you won't belong To anyone any thang, any love at all Tried for so long Tried for so long Tried for so long
