Lyrics I've Been Trying - Jerry Butler

I've been tryin'
I've been tryin'
Lord knows that I've been tryin'
To understand why
Why I cannot be your only man
Lord, you say you love me
But girl, if you really truly love me
Make me understand why I
Cannot be your only man

Day after day
You treat me any old way
I want to go but my heart says no
You act so strange
My love still remains
It says, "Keep on tryin' boy
She's gonna change" and

(I've been tryin')
I've been tryin'
(I've been tryin')
Lord knows that I've been tryin'
To understand why
Oh, why can't I be your only man

I've been tryin' (I've been tryin')
Whoa, I've been tryin' yeah (I've been tryin')

Lord! but
Day after day
You treat me any old way
I want to go but my heart says no
You act so strange
My love still remains
It says, "Keep on tryin' boy
She's gonna change" and

(I've been tryin')
Whoa (I've been tryin')
Whoa, still, I can't understand why
Why I cannot be your only man
I'll be the only one girl (I've been tryin')
That you gonna hold and kiss in this whole wide world (I've been tryin')
(I've been tryin') Lord!
