Dance Hall Crashers - She's Trying (live) lyrics

You know you brought your girl up well So well that everyone can always tell That you had some work to do Thought she'd get the best of you I'm glad that you never gave up on her Shut the door, sent her away You didn't know what else to say But you loved her You knew that she'd have to go And taught her all the things she never wanted to know Because she already knew everything Didn't she And so you kicked her out into the bright light And of course it started a fight But it wouldn't be the last Because she's tryin', she's tryin' Tryin' hard to do what you taught her to She's tryin', she's tryin' Tryin' hard to be what you want her to You know you brought your girl up well So well the day she came and told you She fell in love and packed her bags You hid your smile, didn't laugh You sat her down and told her the rules of love Watch your back and trust no one And most of all, just don't forget To get a pre-nup And then when she went away And came running back the very next day You didn't tell her that you told her so Even though you new that She'd have to skate and break her own leg And of course you'd be there to pick her up It'd be enough Because she's tryin', she's tryin' Tryin' hard to do what you taught her to She's tryin', she's tryin' Tryin' hard to be what you want her to You know you brought your girl up well So well that even though she put you through hell You figure it was worth it Even though it wasn't perfect I'm glad that you never gave up on her Shut the door, sent her away You didn't know what else to say But you loved her You knew that she'd have to go And taught her all the things she never wanted to know Because she already knew everything Didn't she And so you kicked her out into the bright light And of course it started a fight But it wouldn't be the last Because she's tryin', she's tryin' Tryin' hard to do what you taught her to She's tryin', she's tryin' Tryin' hard to be what you want her to
