NELLY FURTADO - TRY
All I Know Is Everything Is Not As It's Sold
But The More I Grow The Less I Know
And I Have Lived So Many Lives Though I'm Not Old
And The More I See The Less I Grow
The Fewer The Seeds The More I Sow
Then I See You Standing There
Wanting More From Me
And All I Can Do Is Try
Then I See You Standing There
Wanting More From Me
And All I Can Do Is Try
I Wish I Hadn't Seen All Of The Realness
And All The Real People Are Really Not Real At All
The More I Learn The More I Learn
The More I Cry The More I Cry
As I Say Goodbye To The Way Of Life I Thought I Had Designed For Me
Then I See You Standing There
Wanting More From Me
And All I Can Do Is Try
Then I See You Standing There
I'm All I'll Ever Be But All I Can Do Is Try
Oh
Try
Try
Try
All Of The Moments That Already Passed
(Already Passed)
We'll Try To Go Back And Make Them Last
(Make Them Last)
All Of The Things We Want Each Other To Be
(Each Other To Be)
We Never Will Be
And That's Wonderful
And That's Life
And That'd You Baby
This Is Me Baby
And We Are
We Are
We Are
We Are
We Are
We Are Free In Our Love
We Are Free In Our Love

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Nelly Furtado, Brian West
Producer(s): Track & Field, Nelly Furtado
In A Press Release To Promote Folklore Furtado Said Of This Song: "This Is About The Reality Of Love. My Energy Used To Just Go Everywhere, But Now I'm More Grounded Because I've Found True Love. The Idea Here Is That, Yeah, Sometimes Life Sucks. But Life Is Only So Long, And Somebody Can Come Along Who Makes You Want To Be A Better Person. You Just Have To Roll With The Punches. So 'Try' Is Not A Happy-Go-Lucky Song. It Has A Strange Arrangement Because The Chorus Happens Only Twice, And The End Is Improvisational. It's Like One Of Those Epic Power Ballads."
A Spanish Version Called "Dar" Was Released In 2007.
Sophie Muller, Who Directed Furtado's "Turn Off The Light" Promo, Helmed The Music Video. In The Period Piece (Possibly Colonial America), Furtado And Her Fictional Husband Try To Conceive A Baby Using Folklore Methods (The Singer Is Shown Tying Lover's Knots Underneath The Bedsprings).
