I Tried by Ricky Nelson Lyrics

(I tried)
(I tried)

You said to go out, find another girl
Well, I tried (Oh how I tried)
Yes I looked all over this world
And I tried (Oh how I tried)

Some were pretty, some even rich
Still you know I'd rather fight than switch
'cause each lonely day that I've been away
I've cried

I tried to forget you, leave my past behind (I tried)
I tried, oh and yet you seem to (I tried)
Always be here on my mind (Always be here on my mind)

When you told me you nеver cared
You lied (Oh how you liеd)
Don't deny, at times you were oh
So satisfied (So satisfied)
I always knew that our love could be
If you'd only gone about it like me
I did the one thing you never seem to do
I tried

I tried to forget you, leave my past behind (I tried)
I tried, oh and yet you seem to (I tried)
Always be here on my mind (Always be here on my mind)

When you told me you never cared
You lied (Oh how you lied)
Don't deny, at times you were oh
So satisfied (So satisfied)

I always knew that our love could be
If you'd only gone about it like me
I did the one thing you never seem to do
I tried (I tried)

I tried (I tried)
I tried
I tried (I tried)
Baby I tried
I tried (I tried)
Baby I tried
I tried (I tried)
Baby I tried
