Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Take up my life
'cause the taste of your love has got me
Do you know, my honey?
Looking your way now,
A kind of good treat in your arms
I can try my love
[Pre-chorus]
You can fly with me
With joy and delight
Just believe me, I'm ready now
Watching all your love
Go, feel up the sky tonight
[Chorus]
Now you can try me
Forever I'm your lover
Making a part of me
'Cause you can try me
Forget about your others
Take all your time with me
[Verse 2]
Talk in my mind
Just stop looking around in your life
Don't give up my honey
Take all my heart now
Just beating for you all the time
You can try me love

Covers[]
Through the years, the song has received multiple covers and versions. The Japanese girl group Namie Amuro with Super Monkey's covered the song in Japanese under the new title "Try Me 〜私を信じて〜" (Try Me ~Watashi o Shinjite~) on January 25, 1995, which was released as the group's fifth single. It was released with the coupling track "Memories 〜明日のために〜" (Memories ~Ashita no tame ni~), which, in turn, is a cover of the track "Memories" by Norma Sheffield. All tracks on the single were produced by Dave Rodgers. "Try Me" was later remade for Super Eurobeat Vol. 193 - Revival Hits (2009) , with it being called "Try Me" <Platinum Mix>, reusing Gordon's vocals. Giancarlo Pasquini covered the song under his main alias Dave Rodgers with the tag "Rock Mix" on Super Eurobeat Vol. 203 - Extended Version (2010). In 2018, the group EGG All Stars, also covered the song in Japanese, titled as "HUG ME". Additionally, the hard dance producer and DJ, Komb, created a hardstyle remix cover of the song, which was released as a single in 2023.
