Mavis Staples - Try Harder lyrics

There’s evil in the world And there’s evil in me There’s evil in the world And there’s evil in me Don’t do me no good to pretend I’m as good as I can be Don’t do me no good to pretend Don’t do me no good to give in Don’t do me no good to pretend I’m as good as I can be Gotta try harder Gonna try harder Gotta try harder Gonna try harder Don’t do me no good to pretend Don’t do me no good to give in Don’t do me no good to pretend I’m as good as I can be I gotta live in forgiveness We gotta give each other hope

Cause there’s evil in the world And there’s evil in me Don’t do me no good to pretend I’m as good as I can be Don’t do me no good to pretend Don’t do me no good to give in Don’t do me no good to pretend I’m as good as I can be Gonna try harder Try harder I’m gonna try harder Gonna try harder I’m gonna try harder Try harder I’m gonna try harder I gotta try harder Don’t do me no good to pretend Don’t do me no good to give in Don’t do me no good to pretend I’m as good as I can be Yeah Ah, yeah
