Keep on Trying
Garland Jeffreys
I’m just a New York City kid
And I’m a’ lookin’ for love
Standin’ out here on the street
Streelight up above
I’m stranded in the night
Just as clear as Black and White
Gotta work it if you wanna’ do it right
You gotta’ keep on tryin’ baby
Keep on tryin’
Keep on tryin’ baby
Keep on tryin’ Ooooo
I’m just a hometown boy makes good
And I’m lookin’ for joy
Keep tryin’ the best I could
Like any ordinary city boy
Standin’ in the middle of the street
Dead tired on my feet
Pretty girl I’d love to meet
You gotta’ keep on tryin’ baby
Keep on tryin’
Keep on tryin’ baby
Keep on tryin’ Ooooo
But I don’t wanna hustle for love
No I don’t wanna hustle for love
I don’t wanna’ hustle for love
