I Know You Tried

I went to your street

At seven in the mornin'

And while you were asleep

I read your newspaperI saw you out walkin'

Out walkin' with your father

Pretendin' not to see me

Pretendin' to be a familyI know you tried, baby

I know you tried

I know you tried to go onSaw a metal object

Lyin' in the street

And when we turned away

It stood itself upYou circled the island

In a Chevy caprice

You stuck out your tongue

And your nose began to bleedI know you tried, baby

I know you tried

I know you tried to go onI know you tried, baby

I know you tried

I know you tried to go on
