We,, I tried to be myself, and what did I get?
I got another day older, and deeper in debt
What did I get when I prayed to the lord above?
I got another day lonelier, and deeper in love
So I say no, not today
I'm not gonna do it, I won't put myself through it anymore
But it's OK, I hope you know it isn't you I just can't fall in love anymore
I tried to be myself, and what did I get?
I got another year older and closer to death
What did I get when I tried to be somebody else?
I got another little lady, that I gotta forget
So I say no, not today
I'm not gonna do it, I won't put myself through it anymore
But it's OK, I hope you know it isn't you I just can't fall in love anymore
I tried to be myself, but it wasn't enough
I've had a hard stretch of luck, but I'm not that tough
I need a good faith woman, to pick me up
because it AIN'T NO WAY, when you don't got love
Yeah I said no, not today
I'm not gonna do it, I won't put myself through it anymore
But it's OK, I hope you know it isn't you I just can't fall in love anymore
I said no, not tonight
Even though it may feel right, you know we've got to fight it
But it's alright
If something's wrong you gotta right it, if it's strong you shouldn't fight it anymore
