[Chorus]
 
 Tried for so long
 
 For you to hold on
 
  
  But you won't be long
 
 To anyone
  
 
 Any thang, any love
 
 At all
  
 
 [Verse I]
 
 I thought we had it all
 
 Until things started to receed
  
 
 Giving me no love at all
 
 Not caring enough about my needs
  
 
 Gave you my heart and all my soul
 
 But not once did I let go
  
 
 And I tried
 
 To stick by you
 
 And I tried to call
 
 To let you know
  
 
 That I'm here for you
 
 And I'm give my all
  
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Tried for so long
 
 For you to hold on
  
 
 But you want belong
 
 To anyone
  
 
 Any thang, any love
 
 At all
  
 
 [Verse II]
 
 You had the best love of you life
  
 
 But you didn't treat it right
 
 No you didn't
 
 No you didn't girl
  
 
 To busy running out all night long
 
 Didn't even have the decency to just 
 
 Pick up the telephone
 
 And just call me
 
 And let me know where you were
  
 
 And that your alright
 
 So I can sleep at night
 
 Girl you showed out so
  
 
 Had the nerve to break up our happy home
 
 All I wanna do
 
 Is do for you
  
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Tried for so long
 
 For you to hold on
  
 
 But you want be long
 
 To anyone
  
 
 Any thang, any love
 
 At all
  
 
 I stood by your side
 
 Sheltered for you
 
 When things were down
  
 
 I help pull you through
 
 Faithful and all
 
 Trusting and warm
 
 But you took heart by storm
  
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Repeat]
