Songtexte I'm Trying To Overcome - This Girl's In Love With You/Spirit In The Dark Outtake - Aretha Franklin

Tried to make you happy
And you were feeling sad
Tried to help you forget
All the heart ships you've had

See you with another woman (woman)
Always gets the best of me (woman, woman)
You've got to show me
This is the way that life is supposed to be, yeah

Sometimes is hard (yes, it is)
For a woman to love a man
I'm trying to overcome, yes, I am (yes I am)
Trying to understand

I don't wanna be second best
I wanna be number one
For standing on these sidelands people
Lord, let me tell you it ain't much fun

Sometimes a woman (woman)
Has got things that she can't tell (woman, woman)
I've gotta find a way to break the spell

Sometimes is hard (yes, it is)
For a woman to love a man
I'm trying to overcome, yes I am (yes, I am)
Trying everyday to understand

You may lie so bitter
But, oh, sometimes you make it so doggone sweet
Sometimes my mind is too hard (yes, it is)
So hard (so hard, yes, it is)
It's too hard (so hard, yes, it is)
So (so hard) hard to be

Sometimes is hard (yes, it is)
For a woman to love a man
I'm trying to overcome (yes I am)
Trying to do the best I can

Sometimes it's too hard (yes, it is, so hard)
So hard (yes, it is, so hard)
It's too hard (yes, it is, so hard)
So hard, yes, it is (yes, it is)

Sometimes it's hard, yes, it is (yes, it is)
For a woman to love a man (yes, it is)
I'm trying to overcome
(For a woman to love a man) trying to understand, yeah

(Yes, it is) yes, it is
(So hard) so hard
(For a woman to love a man) for a woman to love a man, yeah
(Yes, it is) yes, it is
(So hard) so hard
(For a woman to love a man) for a woman to love, yeah

(Yes, it is) yes, it is
(So hard) so hard...
