Macy Gray - I Try

A random sift presented a pleasant recollection of 2001's Nominated Song Of The Year. Taken to extremities, you'd either like or hate Macy Gray's unique warbling.

You'd have probably found yourself chanting the infectious strains.

"I try to say goodbye and I choke.
Try to walk away and I stumble."

Macy Gray - I Try

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here?
When will they stop?
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe.
But we're not .
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you.
I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning.

I try to say goodbye and I choke.
Try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.
Goodbye and I choke.
I try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.

I may appear to be free.
But I'm just a prisoner of your love.
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave.
But my smiles are just a front,
Just a front.
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you.
I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning.

I try to say goodbye and I choke.
Try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.
Goodbye and I choke.
I try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.

Here is my confession,
May I be your possession.
Boy, I need your touch,
Your love kisses and such.
With all my might I try,
But this I can't deny,
Deny

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you.
(but I'm dreaming of you, babe)
I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning.

I try to say goodbye and I choke.
Try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.
Goodbye and I choke.
I try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.

Goodbye and I choke.
I try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear.
My world crumbles when you are not near.
