I’ve Been Trying Clarence Reid

[Intro]
Girl, I done everything for you that a guy can do
And I just can't understand why you can't be true

[Chorus]
I've been trying (I've been trying)
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why (Understand)
Can I be your only man?

[Verse 1]
Oh, you said you loved me (You said you loved me, girl)
So sincere that I believed you loved me
Yet I can't understand why (Understand)
Can I be your only man?

[Verse 2]
Day after day, you treat me the old way
And I wanna go, but my heart says no
You act so strange, but my love still remain
It says "Keep on tryin', boy"
"She's gonna change" (She's gonna change, now)

[Chorus]
And I've been trying (I've been trying)
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why (Understand)
Can I be your only man?
