Lyrics Mavis Staples – Try Harder
Text:
There’s evil in the world
And there’s evil in me
There’s evil in the world
And there’s evil in me
Don’t do me no good to pretend
I’m as good as I can be
Don’t do me no good to pretend
Don’t do me no good to give in
Don’t do me no good to pretend
I’m as good as I can be
Gotta try harder
Gonna try harder
Gotta try harder
Gonna try harder
Don’t do me no good to pretend
Don’t do me no good to give in
Don’t do me no good to pretend
I’m as good as I can be
I gotta live in forgiveness
We gotta give each other hope
Cause there’s evil in the world
And there’s evil in me
Don’t do me no good to pretend
I’m as good as I can be
Don’t do me no good to pretend
Don’t do me no good to give in
Don’t do me no good to pretend
I’m as good as I can be
Gonna try harder
Try harder
Gonna try harder
I’m gonna try harder
Try harder
I’m gonna try harder
I gotta try harder
Don’t do me no good to pretend
Don’t do me no good to give in
Don’t do me no good to pretend
I’m as good as I can be
Yeah
Ah, yeah
