about

Relationship advice from a guy who has been there.
Rick Heyman dances the bass line so beautifully, he's really playing lead.

lyrics

Try to Communicate – words and music by Darrell Elmer Rodgers

You and your lover not gettin’ along
It ain’t like it once was and you’re wondrin’ what’s wrong
Well now You said yourself, you don’t talk anymore
Just both get angry and walk out the door
You’ve got to know, that don’t cut it no more

‘Cause You’ve got to sit down and try, to communicate
Before you break down and cry, ‘cause it’s too late
One day you’ll wake up alone and wonder why
You never took time to try...

Money’s tight, things ain’t goin’ right
Your lover it seems don’t wanna touch you at night
Things are all wrong, but you got to be strong
Give it your best, get it all off your chest

And You’ve got to sit down and try, to communicate
Before you break down and cry, ‘cause it’s too late
One day you’ll wake up alone and wonder why
You never took time to try...

Don’t ask why there’s a tear in my eye,
It happens each time that I hear goodbye
Well I can’t talk about it, and I don’t want to try
Man that’s no way for love to get by

Now, You’ve got to sit down and try, to communicate
Before you break down and cry, ‘cause it’s too late
One day you’ll wake up alone and wonder why
You never took time to try...
