Verse 1
I got my heart on my sleeve,
You want to walk away from me.
My bodies numb with disbelief,
Cause I don’t want you, girl, to leave.
Out there’s a big ole’ world to hide.
I want you right here by my side.
It won’t be easy all the time,
But I can promise that I’ll try.
I’ll do my best with every day.
Sincerity this ain’t no play.
I want to walk with you today,
But you just want to walk away…
Chorus 1:
I said, if at first you don’t succeed,
Just give your lovely hand to me,
And try, try, try, try again…
I said, if at first you don’t succeed,
Just give your lovely hand to me,
And try, try, try, try again.
Verse 2
Now take your running shoes off,
And baby place them all away.
Let’s leave that past back in the past,
And presently we’ll face this day.
There ain’t no better time than now,
These fleeting moments all escape,
And if we name it,
We can claim it.
Wash them troubles off your face.
Let that sun shine in its’ glory,
While attention’s being paid.
Until the moon reflects its brilliance,
In assurance we can lay.
I want to walk with you today,
But you just want to walk away.
I want to walk with you today,
So give me your hand baby stay…
Chorus 2:
I said, if at first you don’t succeed,
Just give your lovely hand to me,
And try, try, try, try again…
I said, if at first you don’t succeed,
Just give your lovely hand to me,
And try, try, try, try again.
Verse 3
Ain’t no hand cuffing…
Ain’t no stuffing bluffing
Ain’t no hand-cuffing…
Baby you can walk away…
Chorus 3:
I said, if at first you don’t succeed,
Just give your lovely hand to me,
And try, try, try, try again…
I said, if at first you don’t succeed,
Just give your lovely hand to me,
And try, try, try, try again.
