I met a girl, she was so fine
I tried so hard to make her mine
But when I went to take her hand
She lead off with another man
Keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
(Keep on trying)
You've got to keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
Oh, yeah
(Keep on trying)
Keep on trying to get yourself in line
(Keep on trying, ooh)
Though I try to make ends meet
I always end up out in the street
And just when I think it's going to get better
The man says to me, oh, I'll call you later
Keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
(Keep on trying)
You've got to keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
Oh, yeah
(Keep on trying)
Keep on trying to get yourself in line
(Keep on trying, ooh)
Though I know the world's overcrowded
People alone and broken hearted
Don't be dissatisfied with your love
Just be happy with what you've got
Keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
(Keep on trying)
You've got to keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
Oh, Yeah
(Keep on trying)
Keep on trying to get yourself in line
(Keep on trying)
(Keep on trying)
Come on, keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
(Keep on trying)
Come on, keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
Oh
(Keep on trying)
Come on, come on
(Keep on trying)
Come on, come on
(Keep on trying)
You've got to keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
Yes, you do
(Keep on trying)
Come, keep on trying etc.
