Ric Ocasek - Fireball Zone

They Tried

they tried to tear you away
they tried to lie in your face
they tried to tip you off sweetly
they tried to get on your good side
they never got the picture
they never got the joke
they never felt your fire
they only saw the smoke
they tried to tell you what's right
they tried to push you around
they tried to be what you wanted
they tried to get you for nothing
they never got too conspicuous
they never felt quite right
they never knew your darkness
they only saw your light
they tried to make you out stupid
they tried to come on like cupid
they tried to tell you what's real
they tried to stay on your heels
they never knew what ticked you
they never knew for sure
they always said they picked you
they never knew what for
they tried to pick you apart
they tried to be your best friend
they never got the picture
they never got the joke
they never felt your fire
they only saw the smoke
but they tried they tried and tried
and they kept on tryin'
crying while they lied
they tried to top you off sweetly
oh they tried and tried
they tried to get on your good side
to get on your good side
