Lyrics

I don't know why
It takes a tall glass of gin just get him to smile
And I don't know who
Took a piece of his soul and left the rest there for you
To fix up, repair, resurrect something that used to be there
Fix up, that man, who's still just a boy holding tight to your hand
I CAN ONLY TRY
OH, I
He can be found
In a penthouse apartment on the east side of town
Nine to five, steady pay
But he still needs somebody at the end of the day
To fix up, repair, that scared little boy all alone on the stairs
I CAN ONLY TRY
OH, I
I CAN ONLY TRY
OH, I
I can try to help you find your own way
I can try to find the right words to say
I can try to help you get thru today
BUT I
I CAN ONLY TRY
OH, I
I don't know why
He questions the answers and lives with the lies
I CAN ONLY TRY
I CAN ONLY TRY
ONLY TRY, ONLY TRY, ONLY TRY
I can only
Give my best to you...tonight
