[Chorus]
I've been trying
Lord knows that I've been trying
To understand why
Can't I be your only man

[Verse]
Now you said you loved me
So sincerely that I believed that you loved me
Yet I can't understand why
Can't I be your only man, no

[Bridge]
Day after day you
You treat me any old way
I wanna go, but my heart says no
Acting so strange
But my love still remains
So keep on trying, boy
She's gonna change

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Day after day you
You treat me any old way
I wanna go, but my heart says no
Acting so strange
Yet my love still remains
It says keep on trying, boy
She's gonna change

[Chorus]
Now, I've been trying
Lord knows how I've been trying
But I can't understand why
Can't I be your only man

[Outro]
I just keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You gotta keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Gotta keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just keep on trying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
