The Good Lord Knows I Tried
From the very first hello to the very last goodbye
From here to there and everything between
All I ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied
And all you ever did was make a fool of me

I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had
And all I ever did was try to treat you right
Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you
I couldn't please you but the good lord knows I tried

My old friends they tried to warn me but I paid them all no mind
When I see them now we don't have much to say
For you took everything we had,left me nothing but behind
Feelin' like some old forgotten yesterday

I tried every way I knew to give you everything I had
And all I ever did was try to treat you right
Still the best that I could do was never good enough for you
I couldn't please you but the good lord knows I tried
