Nothing Beats A Try But A Fail - James Brown

Time and time I tell myself

Something’s gotta give

But the harder I try

I keep finding out that I just wanna live

So if things with you have been kinda rough

And life is hard and living is a little too tough

Don’t give up, don’t lose the trail

Because nothing beats a try

Nothing beats a try

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

Nothing beats a try but a fail

Somewhere along the way

I got like a boat without a sail

But I’m gonna row it just like a captain, yeah yeah

Because nothing beats a try but a fail

Concentration and aggravation

Will drive you stone out of your mind

But determination and dedication

Will win out all the time

But nevertheless, if it’s not my day

I’ll do my best, yeah, 'cause pain could always be that way

Nothing beats a try but a fail

Nothing beats a try but a fail
