From the recording Second Chance Music

Lyrics

I tried for years not to please you
I tried to make you say you see it my way
I sold some of your secrets to strangers
From Corktown down to Logan, MA

I got sick of something inside me
I got sick of watching you
Wearing out my second-hand love
And then looking as good as you do

I tried real hard not to please you, baby
I can't fight the ache like you do, too
I was in search of lost time
I know that I'm nothing new
Nothing borrowed, nothing blue
Not for me, not for me
Not for you

I tried for years not to please you
No
I tried for years not to please you
Oh
I tried for years not to please you
Please you
Please you
