Can We Try

Teddy Pendergrass

Come lay your head an my heart
 Soon be apart, stay here the touch of morning
 I'm glad we're leaving as friends
 Baby, by the way I forgot to say

 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

 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

 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

 Then say goodbye
 Come lay your head down on my heart
 The morning suddenly leads you
 You know, yet I don't need you
 We can't go back to yesterday
 Go away
 Girl, I wished you'd stay

 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
 And we'll end like we began
 And even though it's over

 Can't we try
 Let's go back to yesterday
 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
 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

 Can't we try
 Love was never born to say goodbye
