God Knows I've Tried

"She's a little rebel," that's what they say
 Yeah, I've been chasing trouble since back in the day
 I don't wanna grow up, I'm just not built that way
 Daddy wishes I was the girl next door
 Mama tells me I should smile some more
 Baby, I've been bad
 But God knows I've tried to be good
 God knows I've tried
 To the lovers and friends that I've gone and left behind
 I might've run away, but, see, I ain't driving blind
 I made it to the circus, but I still walk the line
 So go on, judge me by my cover
 I know I'll never write another
 Baby, I've been bad
 But God knows I've tried to be good
 God knows I've tried
 I've been smokin', drinkin', lyin', cheatin'
 I've overpromised, but underachieved
 And I usually ain't afraid of nothing
 But saying this out loud terrifies me
 I've been breakin' hearts, stealin' cars
 Takin' shit to walk on Mars
 To never say sorry don't mean I'm not sorry
 Baby, I'm sorry, oh, baby, I'm sorry
 I'm sorry for the pain I've caused
 For all the moments I've gone and lost
 Don't you know I've tried to be good?

 "She's a little rebel," that's what they say
 Yeah, I'll be chasing trouble for the rest of my days
 No, I'm never growing up no matter what they say
 So let me speak some truth to you
 I'll do it all again times two, yeah
 Baby, I'm bad
 But God knows I've tried to be good, yeah, ooh
 God knows I've tried
 And I've tried and tried
 God knows I've tried
