Can We Try

(album: Time For Love - 1992)

Oh, oh-whoa, oh...
Can we talk this thing over, baby
Don't leave me, baby
Stay with me
Stay with me, baby, now

We had so many laughs
So very few fights
Oh, but when you think about it, girl
We were doing alright
I did you wrong
I'll be the first to admit it
Oh, but all this talk about leaving
It, ain't easy to take

Yes, it's hard to forget
Even harder to forgive
Without you in my life
I've got no reason to live

Can we try, oh, I can make it better
Can we try, can we keep this love together
Baby, say you'll never leave me
'Cause you know how much I need you
Can we try, hold on till tomorrow
Can we try, yeah
Don't say goodbye, ooh...

I never planned it
Thought never crossed my mind
It was just a momentary weakness, baby
I just lost control at the time
And I, I let you down
And betrayed our sacred trust
But now I've gotta face the music, girl
For one moment of lust

And when I see your tears falling
Like the pouring rain
Ah, it just makes me feel so worthless, girl
This can just drive me insane

Can we try, I can make it better
Can we try, if we keep this love together
Baby, say you'll never leave me
'Cause you know how much I need you
Can we try, I'd beg I'd steal and I'd borrow
Can we try, if it means that come tomorrow
We'll be together once more
Baby, that's all I'm living for

I hear your friends all say
Girl, you should just walk away
Oh, girl, can't you see I'm on my knees, baby
Begging you, honey, please stay

Can we try, oh, I can make it better
Can we try, can we keep this love together
Baby, say you'll never leave me
'Cause you know how much I need you
Can we try, I'd beg and I'd steal and I'd borrow
Can we try, if it means that come tomorrow
We'll be together once more
Honey, that's all I'm living for

(I don't wanna make you cry)
I don't wanna
(I don't wanna make you cry)
I don't wanna make you cry
(I don't wanna make you cry)
No, no, no, no, no, no
(I don't wanna make you cry)
No, no, no, no, no, no
Baby, baby, baby, baby, can we try
(Try again)

I don't wanna make you
(I don't wanna make you cry)
I don't wanna make you cry
(I don't wanna make you cry)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(I don't wanna make you cry)
I don't wanna make ya
I don't wanna make ya
(I don't wanna make you cry)
No cry, don't cry, baby
Can we, try, try, try again
(Try again...)
