Hill, Dan - Can't We Try Lyrics






I see your face cloud over like a little girl's
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly
I'm not meant to hear
Baby tell me what's on your mind
I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening
Please listen to me girl

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside

I hear you on the telephone
With god knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girls that someone should be me

So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid
Don't be afraid, no

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
I need you more and more each day

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much baby
Tears me up inside

  34. T.... G....

    My Google home brought me here

  35. C.... ....

    This song hits the heart and soul harder than an earthquake and a bolt of lightning put together. It's amazing how songs like this are more profound after you've been in situations and had the same thoughts and feelings for your significant other like the ones described in this amazing masterpiece of a song. Give me songs like this about real love and emotion than the trash called today's popular music that clogs the airwaves any day

  36. L.... C....

    Kinakain ang words ng lalake, di ko maintindihan

  37. C.... B....

    Dan Hill has written so many beautiful ballads.....XXXXXXXXXXXX

  59. t.... f....

    I do not like music video very much! They are not even singing to each other! Like Peter Setera and Amy Grant. Each doing their part in separate rooms or different days in the studieo. NOT even a real duet! 9/7/19 10.39 am cst USA  TRUMP 2020.

  60. C.... R....

    I missed this kind of music

  62. C.... F....

    Guys try to listen/watch co love video of jennylyn mercado and Dennis trillo cover of this song.You will love it.

    C.... F....

    Yeah that was way awesome though Dennis' voice lacks a little bit of power.

  63. R.... C....

    Oh man this song is hard to get through without losing it lol. When it was out in the 80s, it didn't get to me now. Now that I'm older and been through some rough times, I get it.

  64. m.... ....

    Beautiful song from a time when people didn't need auto tune to sing

  65. A.... t....

    Omg this song

  66. P.... W....

    483 PEOPLE DONT WANT TO TRY!

  67. J.... W....

    I love that this has nearly 2 million listens.

  68. A.... R....

    Still loving and watching this in 2019 with the old school power of MTV ✨💫🎵✌🏿🎶🎤❤️🌟📀😎🎧💕🎼

  69. M.... ....

    When I was younger, I liked the tune. As I grow older, I start to listen more closely to the lyrics and the song grows even more.

  70. D.... D....

    Still in love with this song. July 2019. Music is not the same as it was growing up.

    D.... D....

    Amen. Music like this is leaps and bounds better than the trash that's called today's popular music.

    D.... D....

    Yes definitely not as romantic

  71. J.... M....

    The sexist she's ever looked and sounded

  72. a.... ....

    This is the good stuff, right here!

  73. m.... ....

    I love this song.

  74. A.... �....

    Man, the outro of this song is the best part of this song IMO.. So I hate when the radio stations cut the outro or some song cover from a TV program is cutting that outro just to make a transition of another song..

  75. S.... B....

    These great classics never die out.

  76. E.... O....

    Linda!!!!

  77. L.... N....

    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH that it tears me up.. Dedear, please don't give up..

  82. M.... D....

    This song has such a special place in my heart. Their voices are perfectly paired and the words...incredible. They just don't make music like this today...everything is altered or enhanced my technology. Bring the real talent back!

  83. M.... M....

    I would love to try again with you if that is something you want as well.

  84. M.... M....

    Love it, I'm always listening to the music but I am so glad to hear this song has been a great inspiration for me

  85. O.... T....

    Excellent song...

  86. E.... T....

    Nice music

  87. j.... ....

    Happy 65th Birthday Dan Hill <3

  88. D.... H....

    His politics is to the left of Josef Stalin, but he writes and performs great music. Too bad he became a lickspittle globalist.

  89. D.... G....

    2019. Still loving. Classic & beautiful. ❤️

  90. S.... W....

    Getting older but this song just gonna get younger to me

  91. a.... g....

    She's gorgeous

  92. M.... C....

    2 beautiful voices to a beautiful song❤❤

  93. J.... A....

    One of my all time favorite songs!❤

  94. C.... J....

    Let’s try a can

  95. L.... T....

    Dan Hill songs touching my soul

  96. X.... H....

    How were young adults in the 80s so mature? Dan Hill was only 33 and Vonda only 24 but they both seemed in their 40s!

    X.... H....

    Back then young adults where mature then today. Today there really immature, adults dont play video games, does not listen to rap, does not watch cartoons. just cause you got a good job, or a house, or education does not make you adult. Its not what you achieve, its how you act.

  97. C.... A....

    so this is the MV? woah

  98. M.... D....

    God does this bring back memories...great duet...love these lyrics!! Still love it at 56!!🎶🎻💕

  99. A.... N....

    What a classic
    Since I have been a little girl I have loved this song and I still do 😍😍😍
