Shes Trying by Dance Hall Crashers Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1998

You know you brought your girl up well
So well that everyone can always tell
That you had some work to do
Thought she'd get the best of you
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door, sent her away
You didn't know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And taught her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she
And so you kicked her out into the bright light
And of course it started a fight
But it wouldn't be the last

Because she's tryin', she's tryin'
Tryin' hard to do what you taught her to
She's tryin', she's tryin'
Tryin' hard to be what you want her to
You know you brought your girl up well
So well the day she came and told you
She fell in love and packed her bags
You hid your smile, didn't laugh
You sat her down and told her the rules of love
Watch your back and trust no one
And most of all, just don't forget
To get a pre-nup
And then when she went away
And came running back the very next day
You didn't tell her that you told her so
Even though you new that
She'd have to skate and break her own leg
And of course you'd be there to pick her up
It'd be enough

Because she's tryin', she's tryin'
Tryin' hard to do what you taught her to
She's tryin', she's tryin'
Tryin' hard to be what you want her to

You know you brought your girl up well
So well that even though she put you through hell
You figure it was worth it
Even though it wasn't perfect
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door, sent her away
You didn't know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And taught her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she
And so you kicked her out into the bright light
And of course it started a fight
But it wouldn't be the last
Because she's tryin', she's tryin'
Tryin' hard to do what you taught her to
She's tryin', she's tryin'
Tryin' hard to be what you want her to
