Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Lyrics
"Tryin' To Try"

Throwed a rock through your window
Just to let you know I love you
Just to let you know that I care
And I ain't scared to have you see the way I feel

Blowed a kiss through your keyhole
Just to let you know I'm breathing
Oh, just to try and smack you in the heart
If I were smart I'd give up and go back home

I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry, I'm tryin' to say I love you
Not tryin' to make excuses nor put myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it, not tryin' to change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try

Well, I hung out by your back porch
Just to try and catch you leaving
Oh, just to catch you unaware, that's not fair
I don't care 'cause I ain't proud

And I leaned on your door bell
Just to see if you would answer
Oh, just to see if you would open up
No such luck, I'll come back when you calm down

I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry, I'm tryin' to say I love you
Not tryin' to make excuses nor put myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it, not tryin' to change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try
