Valenti Every time I try to tell where you're goin' wrong You run and hide your head and call me crazy, All I tried to tell you was that you could get it on If you just wouldn't be so lazy. Oh, what can we do, oh I tried to tell you, everything is true. I'm tryin' to tell you I've tried everything I knew, ooh, to try and tell you The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, I wouldn't ever lie to you, I'm gonna tell you the truth now. Every time I try to point out the way you're goin' down You run and drown another jug of whiskey, And when I said you had to get together, try to love you brother, Did I hit you with too heavy of a mystery? Oh, what can we do, I believe in you, how can I tell you, everything is true. I tried to tell you, I tried everything I knew, ooh to try to tell you The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, tell you the truth, And no I'd never lie to you, ooh, to try to tell you the truth, baby, truth, I wouldn't never never never ... I watch you count the spaces pa**ing by, Makes me want to cry, get the strangest kind of old lonely, As the oceans overlfow with people come and people go And still you're only make-believin', Baby, what can we do? I believe in you, how can I tell you, everything is true, And I tried to tell you the truth ... [etc]
