When We Tried
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 talking 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 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
