Lyrics

Try Me
Leslie Christensen (Vocals), Lyrics & Music by Frank Pietrantoni

Daddy never taught me lessons; he only showed me what to do
A man of pride and honor, with a daughter, no son to groom.
Mommy couldn't buy me dresses; we lived in seconds and not brand new
Character built from hardship, and an image sewn from truth.
And I woke every day, from the dreams I longed to know
I fought to find my way, so all I ask of you

Try me, don't deny me cheers I've earned from years and years
Of rightful spiteful tears.

Lovers always seemed to wander, they never felt that I was the one
So poetry and sweet perfume were more dreams I'd never know.
But I walk every day, with my heart on my sleeve
And believe in every way, in the girl inside of me

So try me, don't deny me cheers I've earned from years and years,
Of rightful spiteful tears.
Try me, don't just hide me under sheets that lie.
Sheets that lie and jade; like grafts that cover wounds of rage.

Try Me try me
Daddy never taught me lessons
Mommy couldn't buy me dresses
So all I ask of you

Try me, don't deny me the cheers I've earned,
... earned from years and years, of rightful spiteful tears.
So try me, don't just hide me under sheets that lie
That lie and jade, like grafts that cover wounds of rage.
Try me
