we both tried

tavares

what can you do

when love decides to pass you by?

the more we try

the less we get along

there comes a time

in every life

when right or wrong

is what comes between us

we've seen us fall apart

down to the seams

dreams

we both tried

then love died

old standbys

were nice tries

so goodbye

goodbye

our love reminded me

of wishing on a star

it was hard to feel anything

we put us through the paces

with total disregard

for the love between us

refused to grow

refused to spread her wings

dreams

whoa

we both tried

we tried

we tried

we tried

then love died

ooh

no matter how we tried

old standbys

were nice tries

so goodbye

goodbye

yeah yeah

we both lied

to ourselves about each other

we both cried

'cause we needed something better

old standbys

were nice tries

so goodbye

goodbye

goodbye

oh

goodbye

ooh

we both tried

everything

everything within our power

then love died

ooh

by the minute

by the hour

old standbys

were nice tries

so goodbye

goodbye

goodbye

baby

oh

we both tried

we both tried

baby

we both lied

and we cried

we cried

we cried

we cried

old standbys

were nice tries

but goodbye

goodbye

baby

goodbye

baby

we tried

then love died

ooh

we tried so hard

no matter how we tried

old standbys

were nice tries
