Text: Anthony Hamilton. Comin' from Where I'm From. I Tried.

Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all

I thought we had it all
Until things started to recede, yeah yeah
Giving me no love at all
Not caring enough about my needs

Gave you my heart and all my soul
But not once did I let go, no
And I tried to stick by you
And I tried to call to let you know
That I'm here for you and I'm give my all

Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all

You had the best love of you life
But you didn't treat it right
No you didn't no you didn't girl
To busy running out all night long

Didn't even have the decency to just
Pick up the telephone and just call me
And let me know where you were
And that your alright so I can sleep at night
Girl you showed out so

Had the nerve to break up our happy home
All I wanna do is do for you

Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all

I stood by your side sheltered for you
When things were down I help pull you through
Faithful and all trusting and warm
But you took heart by storm

Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all

Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all

Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all

Tried for so long
Tried for so long
Tried for so long
