When We Tried

You can smother me with kisses and feel free

To let your tender arms surround me

You can love me without fear but don't come here

And try to build no dreams around me

A man's a fool who looks for love

For one time in a lifetime he might find it

So don't waste no time a talking about how love can hurt

'Cause I don't need reminded

I'll take my happiness a little at a time

Just anywhere I find it

Try to feel at home just knowing that

Should you decide to leave I wouldn't mind it

And when you're gone I'll not recall a love

That only lived one night and died

Just a mem'ry of what little happiness

We found together when we tried

I can almost read your mind

And what I find's not hard for me to understand

'Cause a woman's love is stronger one

Remembers even longer than a man

And if I should even feel that you're pretending

That I'm her I wouldn't mind it

If there's any happiness left

In a lonely world like this let's try to find it

I'll take my happiness a little at a time

Just anywhere I find it

Try to feel at home just knowing that

Should you decide to leave I wouldn't mind it

And when you're gone I'll not recall a love

That only lived one night and died

Just a mem'ry of what little happiness

We found together when we tried
