I'm Tryna
Omarion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damn, I really messed up this time
But I'm a make it up to you
Listen

Seems just like the other day
You were my woman
Shopping malls and holidays
Couldn't tell us nothing
Now your gone away and I'm
Still tryna deny it
But I'm tired from this pain
And I just can't hide it

Its like ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I just can't get over you
Girl ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Feel like I caught the flu
Girl I'm sick from all these lies and these games
And I'm sick from being the reason we turned out this way

I'm tryna act like I don't want to be with you
Like I would be okay
If you just walked away
I'm tryna act like I don't want to see you
Like you were just a face
I'll forget you in a day
I'm tryna act like I can do without feeling on your booty
Find another ghetto cutie
To do me like you do me yeah yeah
But I'm just so addicted to you
I'm a try but I can't
'cause your all I'm tryna do

See ya here and there with your friends
And I start the frontin'
Act like I been doing my thing
I don't need your loving
But you see it in my eyes
Girl something just ain't right
Since we don't share this bed no more
I can't sleep at night

Its like ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I just can't get over you
Girl ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Feel like I caught the flu
Girl I'm sick from all these lies and these games
And I'm sick from being the reason we turned out this way

I'm tryna act like I don't want to be with you (ooh ooh)
Like I would be okay (be okay)
If you just walked away (walked away)
I'm tryna act like I don't want to see you (I don't want to see you baby)
Like you were just a face
I'll forget you in a day
I'm tryna act like I can do without feeling on your booty (oh ho)
Find another ghetto cutie
To do me like you do me yeah yeah
But I'm just so addicted to you
I'm a try (oh) but I can't
'cause your all I'm tryna do

Baby I know
Guess I'm changing out the door (Can't play it off like I'm so cool)
Girl you know I'm going straight out my mind
I can't stop thinking bout the things we did and the way we kissed
I know it ain't right playin' like you ain't my time girl
Tryna be a playa got me actin' like I

Like I don't want to be with you
Like I would be okay (like I would never be okay no)
If you just walked away
I'm tryna act like I don't want to see you (but you know I want to see you baby yea)
Like you were just a face
I'll forget you in a day (but I'll never forget you girl)
I'm tryna act like I can do without (oh oh) feeling on your booty (booty)
Find another ghetto cutie (cutie)
To do me like you do me (do me yeah)
But I'm just so addicted to you




I'm a try but I can't
'cause your all I'm tryna do
