FIT TO BE TRIED
(Ron Chancey)


Freddie Hart - 1970





I'm tired of sitting all alone at night
The way you treat me's got me all uptight
You must be loving someone on the side
I feel miserable all over, I'm fit to be tried

Fit to be tried by you
I'm tired of bein' treated like a worn out shoe
I hate to beg for lovin', but I'm losin' my pride
And I can't wait no longer, I'm fit to be tried

Beggars can't be choosers, so I've heard
My knees are getting tired, so here's the word
All the facts are very cut and dried
I'm sick and tired not bein' desired, I'm fit to be tried

Fit to be tried by you
I'm tired of bein' treated like a worn out shoe
I hate to beg for lovin', but I'm losin' my pride
And I can't wait no longer, I'm fit to be tried
No, I can't wait no longer, I'm fit to be tried
