Joan Armatrading Give It A Try Lyrics

Give It A Try Lyrics

Two weeks, I went back

Trying to find my way in society

Found me a job

Showing consideration

For my relations

I gave it a try



Mother I have tried and cried

Father I have tried and cried

Brothers I have tried and cried

Tried it your way

Now I'll do it my way



Two weeks, I smiled

Though in my heart I cried repeated mistakes

Long left behind

Felt no desire

To return

But I gave it a try



Mother I have tried and cried

Father I have tried and cried

Brothers I have tried and cried

Tried it your way

Now I'll do it my way

Now I'll do it my way
