One More Try Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm lookin' out for angels
Just tryin' to find some peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go
[Chorus]
'Cause teacher, there are things
That I don't wanna learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't wanna learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm lookin' out for angels
Just tryin' to find some peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go
[Chorus]
'Cause teacher, there are things
That I don't wanna learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't wanna learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
[Pre-Chorus]
That look in your eyes
Tellin' me no!
So you think that you love me
And know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go!
[Chorus]
And teacher, there are things
That I don't wanna learn
Oh, the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Bridge]
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go!
[Chorus]
And teacher, there are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have
Is my pride
Oh, so I don't wanna learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Who just is unwillin' to try
That look in your eyes
Tellin' me no!
So you think that you love me
And know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go!
[Chorus]
And teacher, there are things
That I don't wanna learn
Oh, the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Bridge]
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go!
[Chorus]
And teacher, there are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have
Is my pride
Oh, so I don't wanna learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Who just is unwillin' to try
[Outro]
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
