(Baby) I'm Trying - Alton Ellis

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

(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)

And if I’m not there when you need talking to

(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)

I may not deny all the things I would do

But deep down in my soul, that’s what I want to do

I’m trying (Baby I’m trying)

Can’t you see that I’m trying, alright

And if I didn’t squeeze you, and give you all you need

(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)

You know you mean the whole world to me

(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)

That’s what keeps me trying

I may not deny all the things I would do

But deep down in my soul, that’s what I want to do

I’m trying (Baby I’m trying)

Can’t you see that I’m trying, alright

Those tumbling blood,

Whatever I got I want to give you half

I’ll give the world if I don’t succeed

It’s you I’m talking, you for 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 there when you need talking to

(Baby I’m trying, I’m trying)

Ooh I’m trying

I may not deny all the things I would do

But deep down in my soul, that’s what I want to do

I’m trying (Baby I’m trying)

Can’t you see that I’m trying, alright

I keep on trying

Every day and every night, oh
