Song Lyrics

I'm gonna try
Try like a mother'
I'll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters
I know she'll be coming down

[Chorus]
Hear the neighbors calling out names
Well I can't put up with that
So I'm gonna try
Try til I get it back

You don't know what she means to me
My reality and my fantasy
On the wave of confidence and gin
Like a hurricane I come crashing in

But oh man the sun is moving too slow
Damn I think I'm losing control
'Cause I just took a flight
To make it here tonight to say that I'

I'm gonna try
Try like a mother'
I'll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters
I know she'll be coming down

[Chorus]
Hear the neighbors calling out names
Well I can't put up with that
So I'm gonna try
Try til I get it back

Listen, I'mma tell you once
From an honest guy who has screwed it up
Celebrate the one you're with
A little take and give never hurt no one

But oh, now I'm standing out in the cold
Trying to find the hope that got stole
'Cause I just took a flight
To make it here tonight to say that I'

I'm gonna try
Try like a mother'
I'll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters
I know she'll be coming down

[Chorus]
Hear the neighbors calling out names
Well I can't put up with that
So I'm gonna try
Try til I get it back

If she replaced my page
Oh no
I'm tryin to say that's your waste
And I'm still here
Would you understand girl'

[Repeat x2]
I'm gonna try
Try like a mother'
I'll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters
I know she'll be coming down

[Chorus]
Hear the neighbors calling out names
Well I can't put up with that
So I'm gonna try
Try til I get it back
