[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?
