I Tried

I Tried - Anthony Hamilton

Written by：Anthony Hamilton/James Poyser

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 yesterday 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 my 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
