College Try

Put my foot in my mouth

And though you're pure of heart you can't pull it out

But you keep lying around

And I keep lying to myself

Back when I used to get by

Givin' it the old college try

I can't keep up with you

And I didn't come this far

To feed you all my lies

But you get the best of my time

You put me on another walk of shame

With a little pep in my stride

Couldn't break your spell if I tried

Put my foot in my mouth

You're always laughing at me for crying out loud

Well, it's something that I can't help

But you'd always say, "Well, hell, we'll figure it out"

Punch me in the face, it made my day

Baby, whip me into shape and I'll come around

When I used to get by

Givin' it the old college try

I can't keep up with you

And I didn't come this far

To feed you all my lies

But you get the best of my time

You put me on another walk of shame

With a little pep in my stride

Couldn't break your spell if I tried
