Lyrics"Can't Get It Right (But I'll Keep Tryin')"Written and composed by Yves Stilmant ©2025 [Verse 1] I showed up late with flowers in hand She rolled her eyes -- said, "Not again" Tried to be cool, played my best line But she saw right through every rhyme [Verse 1B] She's the kind you chase in dreams Not the girl for halfway schemes But every time I think I'm close She leaves me starin' at the road [Pre-Chorus] I tried a poem, tried a song Every move just turned out wrong But I'm still standin' in this fight And I won't give up tonight [Chorus] I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' Been knocked down, but I'm still flyin' She's got that fire, that kind of light That makes a fool feel so alive I stumble hard, but I keep climbin' I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' [Verse 2] I bought a suit, cleaned up my act She laughed and said, "You're better relaxed" Tried to be deep, wrote her a verse But Shakespeare's ghost just made it worse [Verse 2B] She don't want lines, she don't want games She's lookin' past the pretty names And still I chase her every day Like love's a rock show on replay [Pre-Chorus] I've burned through pride and cheap cologne But I won't face this night alone 'Cause somewhere in that look she throws I feel a maybe start to grow [Chorus] I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' Been knocked down, but I'm still flyin' She's got that fire, that kind of light That makes a fool feel so alive I stumble hard, but I keep climbin' I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' [Bridge - Guitar Solo builds into vocals] She's worth the wait, she's worth the pain If love's a storm, I'll take the rain I might be lost, I might be blind But I know she's one of a kind [Final Chorus - Double Length] I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' Even when the signs keep lyin' She's got that spark, that soul, that smile That drives a heart to walk a mile I fall apart, but I keep risin' I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' No, I can't get it right -- but I'll keep tryin' She's the dream I won't stop fightin' |
