I’m on a hundred twenty third street
All this wait for just one drink
She will ask me "Are you mad now?"
I will say "What do you think?"
Just the fact I've come this far
Makes me want to worry
This will be my last trial
Her last chance
to be my jury because
I tried to please her
I tried to please her
I tried and I tried
and I tried and I tried
to please her yeah
There's always a ghost behind her
Pours his shadow
on our lives
Met him only
for a moment
But man his face
could mesmerize
Now is he in town?
Is he out?
Will he see us kissing?
Will I know
if what he took
forever will be missing?
because
I tried to please her
I tried to please her
I tried and I tried
and I tried and I tried
to please her yeah
See that train
that's rumbling towards us
Think I'm gonna
take that ride
When that train blasts past
You better move ahead
or choose your side
'cause no one stands
love's middle ground
without any sorrow
Yeah, she read my past
but when today
becomes tomorrow I'll know
I tried to please her
I tried to please her
I tried and I tried
and I tried and I tried
to please her yeah
