God Knows I Try – Robyn Ottolini Lyrics

God knows I try to be a good friend

But sometimes I take more than I can give

God knows I try to call my parents

As much as I would call them

When I was still in college

And God knows I try to take it on the chin

God knows I wish I had thicker skin

And I keep on letting it sink in

When they throw their two cents in, but

If I get high, that don’t mean I ain’t ladylike

When I mess up, that don’t mean I ain’t good enough

Yeah, my past is checkered, nobody’s got a spotless record

So I sleep fine 'cause god knows I try

God knows I try

I still say yes when I should say no

There I go, collecting dust on all my Sunday clothes

Writing down evеry misstep in my portfolio

Try to make me hatе myself, but God knows

If I get high, that don’t mean I ain’t ladylike

When I mess up, that don’t mean I ain’t good enough

Yeah, my past is checkered, nobody’s got a spotless record

So I sleep fine 'cause god knows I try

God Knows

God Knows

God Knows

Yeah, I try to be better but I’m still keeping score

Yeah, they want a little less but I’m always giving more

Try to be put together but I’m the mess that He made

Just doing my best here, for heaven’s sake

If I get high, that don’t mean I ain’t ladylike

When I mess up, that don’t mean I ain’t good enough

Yeah, my past is checkered, nobody’s got a spotless record

So I sleep fine 'cause God knows I try

(God knows I try)

God knows I try to be a good friend

But sometimes I take more than I can give

God knows I try to call my parents

As much as I would call them

When I was still in college
