lyrics

Got myself a lover
she lives two trains away
Crosstown on the 7 uptown on the A
I met her up in Harlem
it was my lucky day
She said, "I don't want your problems,
just some witty repartee"

You know I try
You gotta try
'cause it's a do or die

Got myself a lover
I didn't have a choice
When I asked about your new best friend
I heard it in your voice
You say you didn't mean to
no one ever does
I know you didn't mean to
it happens just because

You know I try
You gotta try
I'm that kind of guy

You say extra love is easy
take that number cross that line
But I know hard work when I see it
you'll get yours and still be mine?
You been talking I been listening
true love waits eternally
I'll do anything you want
but no one makes a fool of me

And so I try
you gotta try
Step into the light

Got myself a lover
she lives two trains away
Crosstown on the 7 uptown on the A
She said, "I think you're crazy
but hey man, it's your life
I'm glad you only lay me
I'm glad I'm not your wife"

You know I try
you gotta try
'cause it's a do or die
