We Both Tried - Robbie Dupree

What can you do

When love decides to pass you by?

The more we try

The less we get along

There comes a time

In every life

When right and wrong

Is what comes between us

We’ve seen us fall apart

Down to the seams

Dreams

We both tried

Then love died

Old standbys

Well, nice try

So goodbye

Our love reminded me

Of wishing on a star

It was hard to feel anything

It put us through the paces

With total disregard

For the love between us

Refused to grow

Refused to spread her wings

Her dreams

We both tried

Then love died

We couldn’t fool each other

Old standbys

Well, nice try

So goodbye

Goodbye

You know we both tried

Tried to get ourselves together

Then love died

But we couldn’t fool each other

Old standbys

Well, nice try

So goodbye

Oh, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

We both tried

But we couldn’t fool each other

Then love died

'Cause we needed something better

Old standbys (Old standbys)

Well, nice try (Nice try)

So goodbye (Goodbye)

We both tried

We both tried to fool each other

Then love died

'Cause we needed something better

Old standbys (Old standbys)

Well, nice try (Nice try)

So goodbye (Goodbye)

Oh

We both tried

We both tried and tried to fool each other

Then love died

Couldn’t be believed in each other

Old standbys

Well, nice try (Nice try)

So goodbye (Well, goodbye, baby)
