I?ve been loved
And I?ve been alone
All my life I?ve been a rollin? stone
Done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you

Done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you

I?ve been blessed
And I?ve been cursed
All my lies have been unrehearsed
Alll the fire that I?ve walked through
Only tryin? to get a hold on you

All the fire that I walked through
Only tryin? to get a hold on you

I saw you waitin? at the gate
But I arrived a moment late
I saw you shed a single tear
And still I can?t get there from here

I?ve been high
And I?ve been low
I?ve been people that I don?t know
Been to China and old Peru
Only tryin? to get a hold on you

Been to China and to Peru
I?m only tryin? to get a hold on you
Only tryin? to get a hold on you
