Try Me
U.F.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been such a long day
Followed by long nights
Sit here by my myself
But it just don't feel alright
You been talking to me
Everyone talking at me like

[Chorus]

Try me
I'll let you live
I'll let you breathe
Try me
I'll pick you up
And make you believe

You're surrounded and scared, ain't ya?
Nobody's there for you
Under it all
They don't shine away, you do
But you're tangled up in
Everything wrong for you
Come on back to me
And I will make it be the one
Everyone talking at ya
Everyone coming at ya like

[Chorus: x 2]

I know it's been such a long time
And I still don't let you in
I know it feels like a long time
But you're never coming back again
Are you ever coming back again?

It's been such a long day
Followed the long nights
Sit here by myself
And it just don't feel alright

[Chorus: x 2]

Try me (I'll make you believe)
Try me
Come on try me (I'll make you believe)
Try me [Repeat: x 2]
I'll let you live
I'll let you breathe
(Try me, yeah)




I'll pick you up
And make you believe

Tell me why we're never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show
But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light

Try me, oh take me for a little while
Before its over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say its over
But for me it had just begun

Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why the feelin' never goes
But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light

Try me, oh take me for a little while
Before its over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say its over
But for me it had just begun

Michael Schenker had the most great melodic guitar solos of any guitar player in history.

@rolantachado5358

Best slow rock song ever.....

@michaelmuellner1197

The baddest, , coolest, best band ever !

@steviesynapse

The Sheer Brilliance of Schenker era UFO, this is one of most beautiful, most melancholy songs ever written, and for me Michaelโ€™s solo literally couldnโ€™t be better, his note choice, touch, feel and atmospherics are a perfect example of writing and playing for the song and not just for the sake of playing. Totally inspiring and sublime!

@BTown1979

And the voice of Mogg seems so desperate which just adds to the sadness. Just a masterpiece.

@ianstuart5660

Can't say it any better than that so won't even try!!

@johnhicks662
