Trying
Ella Mai Lyrics

Had a lot of space, nothin' in the way
I had a lot of free time and no serious commitments.

I was movin' 'round like everywhere
I was enjoying my freedom and going wherever I wanted.

Had a couple flings, didn't mean a thing
I had a few casual relationships that were not significant to me.

'Cause I'm not the type to really care
I am usually not emotionally invested in my flings.

'Til you came up 'round my heart
Until you entered into my life and started affecting my emotions.

Say you been workin' hard for my attention, for a minute
You have been trying hard to get my attention for some time now.

I never felt so soft, you throw my decisions off
I have never been this emotionally vulnerable before, and you are disrupting my usual pattern of behavior.

Yeah, I see you tryin' real hard and that's good enough
I acknowledge your efforts to win me over and it is sufficient for now.

Spend a little more time, so that's good enough
If you spend more time with me, it will strengthen our connection.

Now you all on my mind, and that's good enough
I am starting to think about you constantly, and that is a good sign.

Not an easy read, I'm sure
I am not an easy person to understand or connect with.

I'm not the typical girl
I do not fit into the stereotype of what a typical girl wants or needs.

And I know I make it hard, but I see you tryin'
I am aware that I am not making things easy for you, but I appreciate your efforts.

When I look into your eyes, I just can't deny it
When I see the sincerity in your eyes, I can't help but feel drawn to you.

You got the topic, I always wanted
You have qualities and interests that I've always been attracted to.

Usually not my type, but, I still want it
Normally, I would not be interested in someone like you, but something about you still draws me in.

Boy, you got good somethin'
There is something special and unique about you that captivates me.

Wake me up in the mornin', love is on my appetite
I want you to wake me up in the morning with your love and affection.

No, you don't wanna waste my time
I do not want to waste time with someone who is not serious or committed.

Truth is, I'm down
The truth is, I am ready and willing to commit to you.

You ain't been in love
You have not experienced true love before.

But, you learnin' how I need you now
You are starting to understand what I need and how to provide it.

Kind of feel weird 'cause
I feel a little strange and uneasy because of my growing feelings for you.

You're not so comfortable sharin' your feelings
You are not used to expressing your emotions openly and honestly.

Ooh, I commend you
I admire and respect your efforts to be more vulnerable with me.

You're really winnin'
You are making significant progress in winning my heart and affection.

You got my attention, no competition (yeah, yeah)
You have my full attention and there is no one else competing for it.

I see you tryin', I see you tryin'
I recognize and appreciate your persistent efforts to win my heart.
