Angela Bofill - I Try Lyrics






I try to do the best I can for you
But it seems it's not enough
And you know I care even when you're not there
But it not what you want

You close your door when I wanna give you more
And I feel, I feel so out of place
And you know it's true
Don't you think I'm good enough for you

And can't you see that you're hurtin' me
And I want, I want this pain to stop
So if you really care, I mean if you really, really care
Well, then open up your heart to me, open up to me

You know that I tried to be with you
You know that I wanted to see it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
But it was just a matter of time

You know that I tried to be with you
You know that I wanted to make it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
But it was just a matter of time, calling the hands of time

You know that I tried to be with you
You know that I wanted to see it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
And it was just a matter of time

You know that I tried to be with you
You know that I needed to see it through

    I love my cousin Angela with all my heart. I was truly blessed to witness her amazing sold out concert at the Wiltern Theater in LA some years ago. Praying that Almighty GOD bless her and the family.

  4. B.... ....

    My relationship I just left made me feel exactly like this, you keep trying and fighting, but you can not fight alone. This was the hardest thing I ever did, it hurts like hell. I haven't ever loved a man like this in my life. I wish he knew how much I love him and want him.

  61. m.... m....

    This is some true baby making music

  62. m.... ....

    I was 4 when this came out. When I was 18, I was at my cousin's house and she was playing this. Around that time, I was crazy in love with my ex, but he didn't really feel the same about me. I played this song over and over again, praying that he would feel the same way. As I'll luck would have it, it changed nothing. I eventually ended up getting over him, and moved on. 2 years ago I'm on Facebook, and he hit my inbox with his phone and asked me to call him. 😐 I did....🤷🏾 This fool had the nerve to ask if we could date again. I paused. Then I started laughing like Timon in the cartoon version of 'The Lion King" when Simba told him and Pumbaa the great kings of the past lived in the sky. I told him HELL NO! He was hot! 😂😂😂😂
