Then We Can Try Again

Supremes · This Is The Story: The '70s Albums, Vol.1 - 1970-1973 [2006]

(Clay McMurray, James Dean)



When the path of your heart's clear

And you let no one else near

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again

When your love for me is true,

Then I can surely depend on you

The we can try again

Don't wanna cry again



I'm leaving, but still hoping that you'll find a way

To bring me back to you and make me wanna stay

But you'll let an intruder break into, making me a loser

So I'm giving you some time

To decide things in your mind



On the day that you prove to me

That you can love with sincerity

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again

If you can patch up my broken world,

Make me believe I'm your only girl

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again



Boy, you made me blue and I'm leaving against my will

'Cause the day without you just makes my life stand still

But if it could help us be in love, I'll put my trust

And if love will prove how strong,

I'll come back where I belong



Ooh baby (then we can try again)

Ooh baby, baby (then we can try again)

Ooh (then we can try again)

Ooh baby (then we can try again)



When you make up your mind, then come

And tell me I'm your only one

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again, ooh

In a minute, I hear your voice

Telling me I'm your only choice

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again



When the path of your heart's clear

And you let no one else near

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again, ooh yeah

When your love for me is true,

Then I can surely depend on you

Then we can try again

Don't wanna cry again

Then We Can Try Again
