Can't We Try - Thelma Houston

Come, lay your head on my heart

Soon we’ll be apart

Stay here 'til the touch of morning

I’m glad we’re living as friends

Baby, by the way

I forgot to say…

Can’t we try (can't we try)

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Love was never born to say goodbye

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Just another helpless fool in love is what I am

But I don’t give a damn

Sorry, I forgot myself

I guess that I’m just not myself

I know that we’re not s’posed to cry

And love is s’posed to die

When people get to know each other

In case I don’t see you again

I really wish you well

But baby, this is hell…

Can’t we try (can't we try)

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Let’s go back to yesterday and lie

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Touch me one more time and make me feel that I’m alive

And if we don’t survive

At least we’ll have a moment here

With honest pain and tears

Then say goodbye…

I know that we’re not s’posed to cry

And love is s’posed to die

When people get to know each other

In case I don’t see you again

I really wish you well

But baby, this is hell…

Can’t we try (can't we try)

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Love was never born to say goodbye

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Touch me one more time and make me feel that I’m alive

And if we don’t survive

We can end like we begin

And even though it’s over…

Can’t we try (can't we try), baby

Can’t we try (can't we try), can’t we try, baby

Can’t we try (can't we try)

Love was never born to say goodbye

(Can't we try, can’t we try)

Just another helpless fool in love is what I am…
