You know I've been trying so hard for you baby
I really done the best that I could
Woman, you know I've been trying so hard
It's all I do night and day baby
You know, wooh - woman
Trying trying trying trying

The path was full of twilight, uncertainty lay ahead!
I had a mind to keep on drinking
Yeah and go on until I was dead
Go sleepy to the graveyard and take my rest
Like the petrified relic of some long-forgotten cares

A mechanical/reactional, alchemically habitual, genetically dysfunctional fool
I'm a nice guy but if I'm insincere I'll be
Straight with you, straight with you, always be straight with you

You know I've been trying so hard for you baby
I really done the best that I could
Yeah! I've been trying so hard
It's all I do night and day baby
You know, wooh - woman
Trying trying trying
