Try To Convince You Lyrics & Chords By Julia Massey

Do do do do do do do do do…

I was in a typical place yesterday morning
I woke up to find myself in a cocoon
Dreamt of walkin' down the highway with no clothes on
As you pulled up you rolled your window down
Called me a fool

As I got outta bed my bare feet touched the cold floor
Looked in the mirror, wiped the sleepers from my eyes
Took a shower, washed away the night of dreamin'
But what you said to me still echoed
In my mind

Now I'm the kind of person who you'd like to meet
If you were having trouble getting on your feet
But I'm not going to try to convince you
But I can use my right or left eye when I wink
And I go to the faucet when I want a drink
But I'm not going to try to convince you

Do do do do do do do do do…

Packed my bags and got myself out to the bus stop
It pulled up 5 minutes late like it always does
We used to ride together every Friday morning
You used to tell me that you loved me
Just because

The people riding it were up to their same business
The sleepy high school student almost missed her stop
The homeless man off in the corner wearing headphones
Kept on accusing me of being an eavesdrop—
And eavesdropper

Now I'm the kind of person who would love to get
Some lonely people laughin' til their face turned red
But I'm not going to try to convince you
But I would love to see you in a little while
And tell you 'bout the things today that made me smile
But I'm not going to try to convince you

But if I may
I'd like to say
That when I pray
It's always for today,
Today, and that you'll stay

Do do do do do do do do do
