Lyrics Oh, How I Try - Johnny Mathis, Nelson Riddle & His Orchestra

Oh, How I Try

Try, try, try just a little bit harder
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
'cause I’m gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
So I won’t lose, lose, lose him to nobody else, yeah.
Hey, I don’t care how long it’s gonna take ya
But if it’s a dream I don’t want no I don’t really want it
Yeah if it’s a dream I don’t want nobody to wake me.
Yeah I’m gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
So I can give, give, give, give him every bit of my soul.
I’m gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
So I can show, show, show him love with no control, yeah.
Hey!
I don’t care how long it’s gonna take ya
But if it’s a dream I don’t want

Yeah if it’s a dream I don’t want nobody to wake me.
