Teddy Pendergrass — Can’t We Try

[Verse 1] Come lay your head on my heart Soon it'll be apart, stay here to the touch of morning I'm glad we're leaving as friends Baby, by the way, I forgot to say [Chorus] Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye Just another helpless fool in love is what I am But I don't give a damn Sorry, I forgot myself I guess that I'm just not myself [Verse 2] And I know that we're not supposed to cry Love was supposed to die When people get to know each other In case I don't see you again Really wish you well, baby, this is hell [Chorus] Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye Touch me one more time And make me feel that I'm alive And if we don't survive At least we'll have a moment here With honest pain and tears [Bridge] Then say goodbye Come lay your head down on my heart The morning suddenly leads you You know that I don't need you We can't go back to yesterday, go away Girl, I wished you'd stay [Chorus] Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye Touch me one more time And make me feel that I'm alive And if we don't survive Then we will end like we began And even though it's over Can't we try Let's go back to yesterday, and I Just another helpless fool in love is what I am But I don't give a damn See, once before I set you free I just got to hold you close to me Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye I want you to touch me Touch me one more time And make me feel that I'm alive And if we don't survive Then we can end like we began And even though it's over Can't we try Let's go back to yesterday, and I See, I'm just another Just another helpless fool in, in love is what I am But I don't give a damn See, once before I set you free I got to have you, I got to have you [Outro] Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye
