Lyrics: Try Me

Try me (try me)
Try me (try me)
Darlin’ tell me I need you
Try me (try me)
Try me (try me)
And your love will always be true
Oh I need you (I need you)
Hold me (hold me)
Hold me (hold me)
I want you right here by my side
Hold me (hold me)
Hold me (hold me)
And your love we won’t hide
Oh I need you (I need you)
Ooh…
Oh I need you (I need you)
Oh oh walk with me (walk with me)
Talk with me (talk with me)
I want you to stop my heart from crying
Walk with me (walk with me)
Talk with me (talk with me)
And your love stops my heart from dying
Oh I need you (I need you hoo hoo)
