Trying To Reach My Goal

Alton Ellis


I don't know where I'm going 
But I sure know where I've been 
And all the things I'm a-doing 
I'd never do again 

Got myself a woman 
Just waiting to build a home 
Just to have some children, yah 
We can call our own 

Oooh, help me! 
I'm 'bout to lose my soul 
Oooooh, woman! 
Trying to reach my goal 

Some day I'm gonna do things 
To prove it to myself 
That loving for my woman 
Is all that I've got left 

I knew it wasn't easy 
But things is much too rough 
Said, things are so much harder 
And things is rougher than tough 

Oooh, help me! 
I'm 'bout to lose my soul 
Oooooh, woman! 

Trying to reach my goal 
Some day I'm gonna do things 
To prove it to myself 
That loving for my woman 
Is all that I've got left 

Oooh, help me! 
I'm 'bout to lose my soul 
Oooooh, woman! 
Trying to reach my goal 

Oooh, help me! 
I'm 'bout to lose my soul 
Oooooh, woman! 
Trying to reach my goal 

Oooh, help me! 
I'm 'bout to lose my soul 
Oooooh, woman! 
Trying to reach my goal
