Heaven Knows
You took my heart baby and you broke it in a thousand pieces
I may not have been much to you, but every man still needs a reason
See I try so hard to love you girl, paid attention to your every need
And right now my soul is crying out ‘cause you mean so much to me

[Chorus:]
I’m crying - How you say goodbye so easily?
Why you takin’ love so far from me
Now I’m calling out desperately
Won't you cut me some slack?
Heaven knows, I did everything you asked me to
Gave you all my love, but nothing was enough for you
I got down on my knees prayed for you to come around
But my prayers went unanswered cause you always let me down.
Heaven knows I tried.
(Heaven, heaven)
And heaven knows I tried.

Now what kind of man do you consider me when I work from five to five?
When I come home I put my time in girl just to keep our love alive
Honey you try so hard to please ya cause you know how much I need ya

Cause you know how much I need ya
Oh girl you know my soul is crying out (out or now?)
And I’m on my bending knees, cryin:

[Chorus:]
How you say goodbye so easily?
Why you takin’ love so far from me
Now I’m calling out desperately
Won't you cut me some slack?
Heaven knows, I did everything you asked me to
Gave you all my love, but nothing was enough for you
I got down on my knees prayed for you to come around
But my prayers when unanswered cause you always let me down.
Heaven knows I tried.
(Heaven, heaven)
And heaven knows I try.

Ever since that day you let me go
I haven’t had a wink of sleep
‘Cause I’ve been crying all night long,
girl don’t you know what you mean to mean

[Chorus:]
How you say goodbye so easily?
Why you takin’ so love so far from me
Now I’m calling out desperately
Won't you cut me some slack?
Heaven knows, I did everything you asked me to
Gave you all my love, but nothing was enough for you
I got down on my knees prayed for you to come around
But my prayers when unanswered cause you always let me down.
Heaven knows I try.
(Heaven, heaven)
And heaven knows I try.

And it’s raining tears tonight.
And heaven knows that I tried, huh.
