Lyrics
KEEP ON TRYING
Words and music by Andru Branch & Halfway Tree © 2007
You won’t even give me a bly, woman
You won’t even give me a bly
You won’t even give me a try, woman
You won’t even give me a try
But I’ve got love for you
But you won’t even give me a bly
I’ve got love for you
But you won’t even give me a try
You know I won’t come running
Chasing after you
Though sometimes life seems so hard
You know I’m just a man
And I’ve got work to do
Just keep doing the best you can
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
But you won’t even give me a try, woman
You won’t even give me a try
You won’t even give me a bly, woman
You won’t even give me a bly
But I’ve got love for you
But you won’t even give me a try
I’ve got love for you
But you won’t even give me a bly
It’s been a long time coming
Waiting patiently
But courage is faith in the face of fear
It’s gonna take some time
To get used to it
But I’m so glad now that you’re here
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
