Al Green - I Tried to Tell Myself lyrics

I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
That you would be back (You would be back)
I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
That you would be back (You would be back)

Oh, though you said you would
I only wish you could
I know I'm trying to be someone

Say I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
You've gotta do right (You've gotta do right)
Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried
I really tired to sleep at night
(Sleep at night)

Before the break of day, yeah
Turning another page, yeah
Into life's mystery
In the light of day, I cannot hear you say
Honey, take this trip with me to eternity

Oh, I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
You need a friend (You need a friend)
Oh and as soon as I wake up
And the sun begin to shine
I started to rain (Started to rain)

I see you finally made it
All the time you waited i could be with you

I see you finally made it
All the time you waited
Now I wanna be with you, oh yeah

I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
I don't wanna ever leave you
I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
I never want you to ever leave me all alone

I tried to tell myself
I never want you to ever leave me away
I tried to tell myself
I tried to tell myself
I don't want you to ever leave me all alone
