RuPaul - Give It One More Try (2004)

RuPaul, the world's most famous Drag Queen (well apart from our London RVT Sunday fave Jonathan, a.k.a. Edna :-) burst onto the scene in 1993 with 'Supermodel (You Better Work)'. The album was just as brilliant. But unless you live on the wrong side of the pond you may have heard fairly little of him. 'Give it one more try', released in 2004 - a jaw-dropping 8 years ago - may have been an exception. If it hasn't, here is a chance to catch up :-)

RuPaul - Give It One More Try (2004) Lyrics: There’s a cab outside,
Should I tell him don’t bother?
I’ll say there’s been some mistake
And that he doesn’t have to wait
If it wasn’t so tragic, it would be funny
But i know that feelings have been hurt
And that you have the final word

October came early
Starting to look like rain
So what’s your hurry, baby
They’ll always be another plane

Give it one more try
Right here by my side
Leaving’s not the answer or the solution
Give it one more try
Let your conscience be your guide
Right here by my side no more confusion

Did you hear me say
that i really love you?
and that i always will
Nothing can change the way i feel
But I’m starting to question why i try to persuade you
Cause if you don’t look me in the eyes
How can i begin to change your mind?

I don’t wanna blow it by
standing in your way
You say that you’re going
There’s gotta be a better way

There was a time
When you said we’d always be together
Said it would be you and me forever
And there was a time
When we didn’t think about tomorrow
Don’t let our future end right here in sorrow

If this is goodbye, at least i know i really tried
I gave the best i had to offer you
