Try
Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still you keep resisting me
Won't you please try to see it my way
Just for once try to see it my way
I want the best for you.
Tell me how I can make you see that I understand
Let me lend a helping hand
Just for once try to see it my way
And I will see you through.
Don't you know the most important thing
that someone can be taught
Is that living is learning to share
It soon may be too late for us
So don't turn away from those who show they care.
Come on and take my hand, let me lead the way
I won't let you go astray
Won't you please try to see it my way
I'm so sure if you see it my way
It's gonna be so fine
So wonderful and fine
Now while there still is time
Try to see it my way.
[Alt:]
There you go, heading for a fall
- Must you be a know-it-all
Don't you know you can't go wrong if you do it my way
- Angie, please let me do it my way, I know what's right for me.
Can't you see that you'll soon be back on your lonely shelf
- Won't you let me be myself
Everything will turn out right if you do it my way
- Angie, please let me do it my way, That's how it has to be.
Don't you know it doesn't make you one iota less a man
To accept what a woman can give
- I know you've done a lot for me, But playin' it safe
That's not the way to live.
Come on and take my hand, let me see you through
- I know now what I must do
I'm afraid that you'll get hurt if you do it your way
-I'm so sure if I do it my way it's gonna be so fine
So wonderful and fine
Now while there still is time
Try to see it my way...
The lyrics of "Try" by Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band speak to the desire to help someone who is resistant to accepting help. The singer is trying to convince someone - possibly a lover or a friend - to see things from their perspective and let them take the lead in making decisions. They are pleading for a chance to show the other person a better way, insisting that they have the other person's best interests in mind.
The song also touches on the importance of learning to share and not turning away from those who show they care. There is a sense of urgency in the message, with the singer imploring the person to listen and accept help before it's too late. The repeated refrain of "try to see it my way" creates a sense of empathy and understanding, as the singer recognizes the difficulty of letting someone else take control.
Overall, "Try" is a heartfelt plea for connection and understanding, and a reminder that sometimes the best course of action is to let go and trust someone else.

Wow Rick was just stunningly beautiful, even as he got older. I saw a couple of his 1980's videos and he still looked absolutely amazing!
