Gonna Try It Anyway
Lisa Stansfield · Other Songs - Lisa Stansfield
Would it be outrageous to you?
Could I make you happy,
With a smile?
Could I take one moment of your time?
Well this feelin' is so strong,
And I don't even know your name,
I've waited for so long, so long,
I've never been so sure,
And I'm not playing games,
I'm gonna dive in at the deep end...
Maybe your shy but, what can I say?
I'm gonna try it anyway,
I don't wanna hurt you, or be in the way,
But I'm gonna try it anyway.
I feel so inspired,
Just looking at you,
I've got the fire,
To see it through,
'Cos this feelin' is so strong,
And I'm not playing games,
I'm gonna dive in at the deep end...
Maybe your shy but, what can I say?
I'm gonna try it anyway,
I don't wanna hurt you, or be in the way,
But I'm gonna try it anyway.
I don't wanna hurt you...
Maybe your shy but, what can I say?
I'm gonna try it anyway,
I don't wanna hurt you, or be in the way,
But I'm gonna try it anyway.
