You've Gotta Try

You've Gotta Try

I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive,
then I hear the oven knowing that it's time.
I wait 'til you enter through the open door,
then you see it,
along with the mess upon the floor.

I went through the cupboards emptying the shelves,
making something special all here by myself.
I wonder if it comes out right, I won't be by myself.
When I see you,
I hope this'll make you stay some more.

You've gotta try the brownies I
made just for you,
and let me know just how you liked 'em when you're through.
I've put our differences aside,
and made somethin' ya like.
Just give a try.
I know you'll like.

I'm sorry that I doubted you, it was not place,
to tell you how to live your life or how to fill your space.
You said that you would be late; I've waited up for you.
Well day's turned into night,
and here I am. The brownies miss ya, too.

You've gotta try...
...I know you'll like.

You've gotta try...
...I know you'll like.
