Marc is best known for the songs "Where You Are" and "Home." Broussard previously released several independent efforts, including 2002's Momentary Setback which spawned the hit "The Wanderer", a song about self discovery. A re-worked version of the song appears on Carencro. As of July 2005, "Home" was released as a single.
Although Broussard is rather unknown, he is characteristically known and critically praised for his strong vocals. However, he has garnered an uptick in popularity thanks to a snappy tune "Must Be The Water" which is featured in television commercials on TNT for the 2008 NBA All-Star game held in New Orleans.
Try Me
Marc Broussard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look a little deeper and you might be surprised
Rough around the edges like the cuff of my jeans
Stay a little longer and you'll see what I mean
How you know I'm not the one
Supposed to keep you warm at night
You came in with Mr. Wrong
Try me
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need
Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me
Love to meet your momma just to see for myself
She must be a special lady 'cause she raised you well
Love to meet your daddy, maybe shake his hand
Look him in the eye to let him know I'm a man
I can
be your confidante
Be everything you want
Be the one you trust
All you've got to do is just
Try me
Come on
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need
Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me
Say you searched the seven seas
North, south, west and east
But I bet you've never seen the likes of me
Noooo
Girl your search is over
You're lookin at your four-leaf clover
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Baby please
Try me
Come on
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need
Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me
Try me
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need
Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me
Come on try me baby
Everything you wanted
Won't be disappointed
Try me

Huge fan of Marc’s work. There’s “blue-eyed soul,” but he is in a category all his own. His originals are killer, and his covers show deep respect for the artists who originated them. If you haven’t already, get yourself familiar with Marc Broussard’s entire catalog. You won’t be disappointed!
