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
