I'll Keep On Trying

Uriah Heep · You Can't Keep A Good Band Down: The Miniatures [2002]

Oh oh

You came to me with all of your lies

And I was taken in so well

Took me quite a time to see the disguise

You made it very hard to tell

Now here you are again but you're beggin' in vain

'Cause I really don't want to know

Oh oh

You came to me with a little bit of charm

You had me down on my knees

I didn't really think there was any harm

But all you ever did was tease

You took all the love that I ever had to give

And there was nothing left to show

Oh oh

Well I remember everything, everything around me

The long dark winter till the breath of spring

Came close enough to drown me

So I'm gonna keep on trying till I feel like dying

And I lay down and pass away

But that won't happen till tomorrow and by then I can borrow another day

So I'm gonna keep on trying, yea

You came to me with a little bit of charm

And you had me down on my knees

I didn't really think there was any harm

But all you ever did was tease

You took all the love that I ever had to give

And there was nothing left to show

Oh oh
