And I tried and I tried
(Just like I told you)
(Just like I warned you)
Pray to God for love and hope
Pray to God for love and hope
Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Sure it helps to lose myself in you
And I tried and I tried
And I tried and I tried
Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Lord knows I try to be good, I'd keep my promises if only I could
Clutch your pictures of the Pope
And I tried and I tried
And I tried and I tried
Walks out my door
A little time and I'll be all right, c'mon sugar, let's go out tonight
And I tried and I tried
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
I tried and I tried
And I tried
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
(Just like I told you)
I've done things I never thought I'd do
And I tried and I tried
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
When you are leaving
That sinking feeling
Forgive your trespasses and all that we've been through
Bring the Virgin home for luck
And I tried and I tried
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Pray to God for love and hope
All I believe in
The damage's done, there's nothing left to save
