This is a song called Try (Just a Little Bit Harder) You know you'd better baby and you know you got to Try, try, try just a little bit harder So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself Well, I'm gonna try, just a little bit harder So I can't give, give, give, give him to nobody else. Well, I've been waiting for such a long time I ain't gonna lose myself (No, I ain't gonna lose it) I ain't gonna lose myself To make him mine, all mine.

Yeah, I'm gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder So I won't lose, lose, lose him to nobody, no. Oh! Well, I don't care how long it's gonna take me But if it's a dream I don't want No, I don't really want it If it's a dream I don't want Nobody to wake me. Hey, you better not do it! Yeah!
