Overall Meaning

In "Try Me," Bob Marley invites his love interest to trust him and give him a chance to prove his love. The song reflects his commitment to being there for her during tough times. The repetition of the phrase "Try me" emphasizes his willingness to step up to the challenge and support her emotionally. When she is feeling down and can't seem to get anything right, he wants her to know that he will be there to comfort her. He urges her to give him a chance to satisfy her needs, and promises to reciprocate once she puts her trust in him.

Bob Marley often used his music to express his support for the black community and to promote equality and justice. In this song, he combines his social message with a love song that expresses his desire to be there for someone he cares about.
