The Good Lord Knows I Tried

From the very first hello until the very last goodbye

From here to there and everything between

All I ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied

And all you ever did was make a fool of me

I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had

And all I ever did was try to treat you right

Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you

I couldn’t please you but the good Lord knows I tried

My old friends they tried to warn me but I paid them all no mind

When I see them now we don’t have much to say

For you took everything I had and left me nothing but behind

Feeling like some old forgotten yesterday

I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had

And all I ever did was try to treat you right

Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you

I couldn’t please you but the good Lord knows I tried

I couldn’t please you but the good Lord knows I tried
