Lyrics Johnnie Taylor

Johnnie Taylor

I'm Trying

If I don't love you like you want me to do

Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying

And if I'm not fair when you need talking to

Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying

Everyday in the week

I mean seven days

Just to love you in so many ways

I'm trying baby, can't you see I'm trying

And if I don't please ya and give you all you need

Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying

You know you mean the whole world to me

And that's what keeps me trying, I'm trying

I may not provide all your kids I will do

But deep down in my soul

That's what I want to do

I'm trying, yeah baby, can't you see I'm trying

No stumbling blocks can block my plan

Whatever I got I'll run and give you half

And in the world if I don't succeed

Baby, I'd be rather be, you and me

If I don't love you like you want me to do

Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying

And if I'm not fair when you need talking to

Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying

I may not provide all your kids I will do

But deep down in my soul

That's what I want to do

I keep on trying, baby, can't you see I'm trying

Oh yes I am, girl

I'm trying, Lord have mercy

Can't you see that I am trying

Everyday when I get up and go to work

I'm trying, trying to make you happy
