Melanie Fiona - I Tried Lyrics






I tried being good
But it never works
But if I follow the rules
There was no way I'd get hurt
But every time I let my guard down,
I just let my heart down, ooh
I could give until you're back down,
Run me dry until I tap out, ooh oh

I could really use some sleep,
But you still won't let me rest
Must've fallen way too deep
Now I'm drowning it's so hopeless
No one said it would be easy,
Love isn't for the weak
But even in my strongest,
You're the one I can't defeat, ooh oh

I tried being good
But it never worked
See, I was playing with fire
When I should just let it burn
What's the use of being good?
In love when there's is no peace
Hey, heyy
Might as well be the bad girl
Maybe then I'd find relief
Oooohhhh
I tried, I tried
Baby, you know that I tried
I don't know why I gave you my best
Yes, I did, yes, I did
I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried
Oh, I tried

    I tried being good

    I really have no words to explain the ignorance that you just posted.

    +Adam Dille lol

  82. g.... S....

    AS A POTENTIAL FAN YOU FUCKED THIS ONE UP! YOU ARE NO AMY WINEHOUSE, AND YOU NEED TO STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW... THIS IS THE ONLY MESSAGE I GOT FOR YOU!
