Try Harder
There's evil in the world
And there's evil in me
There's evil in the world
And there's evil in me

Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Gotta try harder
Gonna try harder
Gotta try harder
Gonna try harder

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

I gotta live in forgiveness
We gotta give each other hope
Cause there's evil in the world
And there's evil in me
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Gonna try harder
Try harder
I'm gonna try harder
Gonna try harder
I'm gonna try harder
Try harder
I'm gonna try harder
I gotta try harder

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Yeah
Ah, yeah
