If I don't love you like you want me to do   Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying   And if I'm not fair when you need talking to   Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying      Everyday in the week   I mean seven days   Just to love you in so many ways   I'm trying baby, can't you see I'm trying      And if I don't please ya and give you all you need   Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying   You know you mean the whole world to me   And that's what keeps me trying, I'm trying      I may not provide all your kids I will do   But deep down in my soul   That's what I want to do   I'm trying, yeah baby, can't you see I'm trying      No stumbling blocks can block my plan   Whatever I got I'll run and give you half   And in the world if I don't succeed   Baby, I'd be rather be, you and me      If I don't love you like you want me to do   Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying   And if I'm not fair when you need talking to   Baby, I'm trying, I'm trying      I may not provide all your kids I will do   But deep down in my soul   That's what I want to do   I keep on trying, baby, can't you see I'm trying   Oh yes I am, girl      I'm trying, Lord have mercy   Can't you see that I am trying   Everyday when I get up and go to work   I'm trying, trying to make you happy
