And I tried to stick by you
I thought we had it all
And that your alright so I can sleep at night
No you didn't no you didn't girl
And let me know where you were
But not once did I let go, no
Faithful and all trusting and warm
Didn't even have the decency to just
Tried for so long for you to hold on
Had the nerve to break up our happy home
Gave you my heart and all my soul
But you won't belong
To anyone any thang, any love at all
But you didn't treat it right
Tried for so long for you to hold on
Not caring enough about my needs
To anyone any thang, any love at all
But you won't belong
To busy running out all night long
You had the best love of you life
But you won't belong
Girl you showed out so
Giving me no love at all
I stood by your side sheltered for you
Pick up the telephone and just call me
All I wanna do is do for you
When things were down I help pull you through
But you won't belong
Tried for so long for you to hold on
To anyone any thang, any love at all
To anyone any thang, any love at all
And I tried to call to let you know
To anyone any thang, any love at all
That I'm here for you and I'm give my all
To anyone any thang, any love at all
But you took heart by storm
Until things started to recede, yeah yeah
Tried for so long
Tried for so long for you to hold on
But you won't belong
Tried for so long
Tried for so long for you to hold on
