Let's Give This Love A Try - John Hiatt

Sometimes I don’t like being where I am

No matter what

I’d rather be in a barrel of kosher salt and pickle brine

With a thousand paper cuts

I’m uncomfortable in my own skin you might say

Feeling my own guts

So tell me something about yourself sweetheart

Before I screw this whole thing up

You say you feel like a phony romancer

Though you still believe in love

Make you feel like a dancer

Like you got all the answers

Leave you wonderin' what you were made of

You don’t see no chain mail hiding puppy dog tails

I’ve been sufficiently horrified

I got just enough left to wanna see what’s next

Why don’t we give this love a try

Let’s give this love a try

All we can do is cry

Hang out your tears to dry

Let’s try this love

Let’s give this love a try

The sun’s setting in your eyes

I’m all out of when and why

Let’s try this love

I never met two people more likely to explode

Scattered, chopped, screwed, covered up and smothered into each other arms

Please forgive me my basic negativity

God help us both if you find it even part of my charm

By the way you swept me off my feet

With the gentleness of an angel flying by

I’m a long shot baby, but they do come in

Why don’t we give this love a try

Let’s give this love a try

All we can do is cry

Hang out your tears to dry

Let’s try this love

Let’s give this love a try

The sun’s setting in your eyes

I’m all out of when and why

Let’s try this love

I’m all out of when and why

Let’s try this love
