Try Me Baby
The Clarke/Duke Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know there must have been a moment when you loved me
I know you must be holding onto something

But maybe that's a lie I tell myself
Maybe it's over and I just can't tell
But girl you know you fuck like we're in love
Do you love me, do you love me
You know I just can't help but love you
I know that must not make it easy on you

But it's something in the way you say my name
Desperation painted on your face
Baby I just wanna hear you say
That you love me

But maybe I'm waiting for nothing
Maybe I'm wasting you're time
Maybe you're waiting for something
Baby that I just can't provide
But baby I'm dying watching you try to love me
Try to love me

It goes and it comes back baby when we touch
That feeling never being good enough

But maybe it's the kiss that numbs the pain
Maybe you're trying to fall in love again
Baby I want to but I just can't change
Do you love me, could you love me, do you love me

But maybe I'm waiting for nothing
Maybe I'm wasting you're time
Maybe you're waiting for something
Baby that I just can't provide
But baby I'm dying watching you try to love me
Baby I'm dying watching you try to love me

And maybe it's a lie I tell myself
Maybe it's over and I just can't tell
Oh do you remember the way it felt
when loved me, do you love me, could you love me

But maybe I'm waiting for nothing
Maybe I'm wasting you're time
Maybe you're waiting for something
Baby that I just can't provide
But maybe I'm waiting for nothing
Maybe I'm wasting you're time
Maybe you're waiting for something
Baby that I just can't provide
But baby I'm dying watching you try to love me




Baby I'm dying watching you try to love me
Baby I'm dying watching you try to love me
