[Verse 1: Clyde Lawrence]

We could've done it

Girl, we nearly had it made

But near doesn't cut it

We ain't a horseshoe or a hand grenade

What is it you want me to say?

[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]

I wish that we

We didn't have to try so hard

How can this be?

We shouldn't have to try so hard

[Verse 2: Gracie Lawrence]

Why do you reckon

Something's got a hold on me

Maybe I need a second

To think a little differently

Who is it you want me to be?

[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]

I wish that we

We didn't have to try so hard

And how can this be?

We shouldn't have to try so hard

Try with me baby

[Bridge: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]

Can we just try?

Can we just try?

Can we just try?

Can we just try?

[Chorus 2: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]

I wish that we

We didn't have to try so hard

How can this be?

We shouldn't have to try so hard

I wish that we

We didn't have to try so hard

How can this be?

We shouldn't have to try so hard

Try with me, baby

[Outro: Clyde Lawrence w/ Gracie Lawrence]

Try

Can we just try?

Can we just try?

Can we just try?
