I tried, tried to impress you, my love, I gave it all

Each hour ever at your beck and call.

I tried, tried to caress you,

My soul, filled with desire, two arms craving the one I admire.

Your charm was so appealing, I loved you from the start,

There's still that same old feeling, concealed here in my heart.

I tried making you love me, and you couldn't decide,

But I'll never regret that I tried, and tried and tried.
