God Knows I Try
As Recorded By Robyn Ottolini
(2026 Release)
Intro
Verse 1
God Knows I Try To Be A Good Friend
But Sometimes I Take More Than I Can Give
God Knows I Try To Call My Parents
As Much As I Would Call Them
When I Was Still In College
Verse 2
And God Knows I Try To Take It On The Chin
God Knows I Wish I Had Thicker Skin
And I Keep On Letting It Sink In
When They Throw Their Two Cents In, But
Chorus
If I Get High, That Don’t Mean I Ain’t Ladylike
When I Mess Up, That Don’t Mean I Ain’t Good Enough
Yeah, My Past Is Checkered, Nobody’s Got A Spotless Record
So I Sleep Fine 'Cause God Knows I Try
Verse 3
I Still Say Yes When I Should Say No
There I Go, Collecting Dust On All My Sunday Clothes
Writing Down Every Misstep In My Portfolio
Try To Make Me Hate Myself, But God Knows
Chorus
If I Get High, That Don’t Mean I Ain’t Ladylike
When I Mess Up, That Don’t Mean I Ain’t Good Enough
Yeah, My Past Is Checkered, Nobody’s Got A Spotless Record
So I Sleep Fine 'Cause God Knows I Try
Post-Chorus
God Knows
God Knows
God Knows
Bridge
Yeah, I Try To Be Better But I’m Still Keeping Score
Yeah, They Want A Little Less But I’m Always Giving More
Try To Be Put Together But I’m The Mess That He Made
Just Doing My Best Here, For Heaven’s Sake
Chorus
If I Get High, That Don’t Mean I Ain’t Ladylike
When I Mess Up, That Don’t Mean I Ain’t Good Enough
Yeah, My Past Is Checkered, Nobody’s Got A Spotless Record
So I Sleep Fine 'Cause God Knows I Try
Post-Chorus
(God Knows I Try)
Outro
God Knows I Try To Be A Good Friend
But Sometimes I Take More Than I Can Give
God Knows I Try To Call My Parents
As Much As I Would Call Them
When I Was Still In College
