"Try Again"

(wriiten by Dana Walden/Rocky Maffit/Michael Day)


I been staring at your photograph
wonderin' where you're at today
And I been hangin' by the telephone
hopin' that you'd call home,it's late

But you told me you needed more walks,more talks
more feeling close to me,I wanna be close to you
I didn't know you needed some roses,some romance
a little candlelight and slow dance,that's not how it's been

(chorus)
But maybe we can try again
Try...try
Maybe we can try again

I remember all the days gone by
and I'm wonderin' why i couldn't see
that I could search the whole world over
and never find what you were always giving me

I told you i needed more time,more space,more freedom
(free to do) free to do,girl,what you wanna do
I gave you no roses,no romance
no candlelight and no slow dance,but that's just how it's been

(chorus)
But maybe we can try again
Try...try
Maybe we can try again
Try...try
Maybe we can try again...yeah

Ooh...I remember when you told me,you needed more walks,more talks ,more feeling
close to me (ooh),I wanna be close to you yeah
I'll give you some roses,whole lot of romance
a little candlelight,slow dance,don't let this be the end


(chorus)
Maybe we can try again...

Oh,hell yeah I remember "Off and On Love" (1984)! In fact,I couldn't decide which song to make a thread about...lol...They're both superb jams!

Nope, don't want no other Champaign track 'cept How 'Bout Us.

Nothing was more kickass than riding downtown with DavidEye.

Now I gotta fly out to NY to hang out with a certain DJ.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

and when you do,be sure to steal his record collection for me,okay?

DavidEye said:

I'd NEVER do that!!!

I Like "Try Again" so much! I've had the hardest time finding it on cd! I know it's on a "Smooth Grooves" comp. but can't find one. I was very shocked to see that this song was not on a "Champaign" hits/best of cd I saw!

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

"Try Again" was definately one of the baddest slow jams back in the day.
