I Tried To Tell Myself Lyrics - Al Green

I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself 

That you would be back 

(You would be back) 

I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself 

That you would be back 

(You would be back) 

Oh, though you said you would 

I only wish you could 

I know I'm trying to be someone 

Say I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself 

You got to ride 

(You got to ride) 

Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried 

I really tired to sleep at night 

(Sleep at night)

Before the break of day 

Turning another page into life's mystery 

And the light of day 

I can now hear you say 

I then take this trip 

With me to eternity 

Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself 

You need a friend 

(You need a friend) 

Oh and as soon as I wake up 

The sun begin to shine, I start to rain 

(Start to rain) 

I see you finally made it 

All the time you waited 

I, I could be with you 

I see you finally made it 

All the time you waited 

Now I wanna be with you, oh yeah

I tried to tell myself 

I tried to tell myself 

I don't wanna ever leave you 

I tried to tell myself 

I tried to tell myself 

I never want you to ever leave me all alone 

I tried to tell myself 

I never want you to ever leave me away 

I tried to tell myself 

I tried to tell myself 

I don't want you to ever leave me all alone
