Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord, I've been trying to be what I should
Lord, I've been trying to do what I could
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain but I'll try again
[Instrumental]
Lord, I've been trying to be understood
And Lord, I've been trying to do as you would
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain but I'll try again
Written by: Alex Chilton, Christopher Bell
