Give It A Try

(album: Very Best Of Petula Clark - 1996)

I will never be the one you seem to see in me
I try, God knows I try, but I don't make it, my baby
Can't you see (Can't you see) I can only be me
And ev'rything I am, I'm offering you
So throw away your fantasy and face reality like I do
Try to see the side of me that's loving you, baby
Try to see the side that you don't know
I could show you things you never imagined you ever would see
Why don't you give it a try (Give it a try)

I am not a fool, I've been around, I know the rules
So I smile, through it all I smile and try to take it
My baby, you need me (you need me), but you just gotta see
Affection is a dream that rarely comes true
And if you wanna touch the skies
You'll have to compromise, like I do
Try to see the side of me that's loving you, baby
Try to see the side that you don't know
I could show you things you never imagined you ever would see
Why don't you give it a try

Try to see the side of me that's loving you, baby
Try to see the side that you don't know
I could show you things you never imagined you ever would see
Why don't you give it a try (Give it a try)
Try to see the side of me that's loving you
Try-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y (Give it a try)
(Oooooh-oooooh-ooooh-ooooh) Won't you give it a try
Come on, baby, give it a try
(Ooooooh-ooooooh) Give it a try
