When we tried

When we tried Lyrics

You can smother me with kisses and feel free to let your tender arms surround me
You can love me without fear but don't come here
And try to build no dreams around me
A man's a fool who looks for love for one time in a lifetime he might find it
So don't waste no time a talkin' about how love can hurt cause I don't need reminded
I'll take my happiness a little at a time just anywhere I find it
Try to feel at home just knowing that should you decide to leave I wouldn't mind it
And when you're gone I'll not recall a love that only lived one night and died
Just a mem'ry of what little happiness we found together when we tried

I can almost read your mind and what I find's not hard for me to understand
Cause a woman's love is stronger one remembers even longer than a man
And if I should even feel that you're pretending that I'm her I wouldn't mind it
If there's any happiness left in a lonely world like this let's try to find it
I'll take my happiness...
