i tried to tell you about my friends
i tried to tell you about the way they are
seeing through the problems there's no need to doubt
'cause you're just a little jealous of them

a years been gone now since you left
a years been gone now since the day you ran from me
i've got a lot of precious things at hand
and you can't even explain all of them

don't tell me if your world turns blue
baby, i can't stand it when you have to lay this on me
i tried to tell you of all the nasty things you do
but there's just one thing i gotta do
and i should not have to count on you but

i tried to tell you that our love isn't wasted
put it in and i'll show you a smile and don't it?
i tried to tell you that our love isn't wasted
put it in 'cause i'll show you a thing or two about us
we got to put on love

the phone's been ringing since you left
i tried to reach you and you haven't even second-guessed
you've got a lot of precious shit at hand
and you can't even get the phone out from my hand

don't tell me if your world turns blue
'cause baby, i can't stand it when you have to lay this on me
i tried to tell you of all the nasty shit you do
but there's just one thing i gotta do
and i should not have to count on you but

i tried to tell you that our love isn't wasted
put it in and i'll show you a smile and don't it?
i tried to tell you that our love isn't wasted
put it in 'cause i'll show you a thing or two about us
we got to put on love

i tried to tell you that our love isn't wasted
just put it in 'cause i'll show you a smile and don't it?
i tried to tell 'bout our love
put it in 'cause i'll show you a thing or two
said i'll show you just one thing or two about us
we got to put on love
