I Tried (Interlude) - Total

You know, if you’re not gonna listen to me

(Why, oh why)

Then there’s no need for us to talk

(Why did you do it?)

I’m being a friend by telling you this

Wait, wait, I know, I know there’s nothing I could say

Or could do to go back (To fix it, uh-uh)

But honestly I tried

I tried to stay away from him

But you just kept bringing him 'round

(You were sleeping around with my baby, yeah)

And I don’t know, something about his eyes

I’m sorry

(Why, oh why did you do it?)

I tried to block him out of my mind

(I thought you was a friend)

But it just wouldn’t go away

So, if you’re gonna fault anybody

(I'm faulting you)

I think I’m the person you wanna talk to

(Why oh why)

You can talk to me

(I can’t talk)

We share the same ideas

(I can’t talk to you)

We share the same love for the same man

(No, we don’t, you’ve been creepin' with my man)

And all I can say is, I tried

(You ain’t tried, you ain’t tried)

May the best woman win

(I'll win, 'cause I’m the best thing for him)
