Try Try Try
Nikki Yanofsky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People come and people go
Don't you think it's best to know
Who you really love?
Who you love, who you love

Questions come and questions go
But don't you think that you should hold on
Who you really love?
Who you love, who you love

Well, you'll try to get what you want
And you will try to get what you want
And you'll try to get what you want
'Til you got what you need, oh

Got myself in to invite
'Cause looking back I could not find
The fella that can be
What I need, what I need, ooh

Tried to lay it on the line
But losing track and killing time
It ain't the way to be, ooh
Way to be, way to be

Well, you will try to want what you have
Well, you will try to want what you have
You'll try to want what you have
'Til you have what you need, oh

Baby, you could be the one
The fella who can give me some more songs
Securing me
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, you will try to get what you want
And you will try to get what you want
And you'll try to get what you want
'Til you got what you need, oh

You'll try to want what you have
You'll try to want what you have




You'll try to want what you have
'Til you have what you need, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nikki Yanofsky's "Try Try Try" explore the difficulties of finding and keeping love. The song begins with the lines "People come and people go, don't you think it's best to know who you really love?" suggesting that love is something that is difficult to determine and can be transient. The song goes on to ask a series of questions, such as "Questions come and questions go, but don't you think that you should hold on to who you really love?" which highlight the struggles of finding and maintaining strong relationships.


The theme of trying and struggling runs throughout the song, as the lyrics repeatedly refer to trying to get what you want and need, and trying to want what you have. This sentiment is echoed in the chorus, when Yanofsky sings "Well, you'll try to get what you want, and you will try to get what you want, and you'll try to get what you want 'til you got what you need, oh." This repetition of the word "try" underscores the idea that finding love and connection is difficult and requires effort and persistence.


The song's bridge presents a moment of self-reflection, as the singer laments not finding the right person and describes feeling lost and wasting time. The final verse offers a glimmer of hope, as Yanofsky sings about finding someone who can "give me some more songs" and "secure" her. The song ends with the same chorus, reminding the listener that the search for love is a struggle, but one that is ultimately worth pursuing.
