When I see you on the street,
I lose my concentration
And just the thought that we might meet
creates anticipation

Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, I've been thinkin' about you day and night
And I don't know if it'll work out right
But somehow I think that it just might
If we try

Faces come and faces go
in circular rotation
But something yearns within to grow
beyond infatuation

Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, you got me standin' deaf and blind
'Cause I see love as just a state of mind
And who knows what it is that we might find?
If we try

You're walking a different direction
from most people I've met
You're givin' me signs of affection
I don't usually get
I don't want you to pledge your future
The future's not yours to give
Just stand there a little longer
And let me watch while you live

'Cause when I see you on the street
I lose my concentration
And just the thought that we might meet
creates anticipation

Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, I've been thinkin' about you day and night
And I don't know if it will work out right
But somehow I think that it just might
If we try
Somehow I think that it just might
If we try
Yes, somehow I think that it just might
If we try

Don McLean（"American Pie" の大ヒットで有名）の1972年の3枚目のアルバム "Don McLean" に収録されていた曲で、アルバムからの2枚目のシングルとしてリリースされましたがそれほど売れませんでした。
Don McLean はアメリカのフォーク・シンガーですが、イギリスでも爆発的に売れたため、オリビアの目に（もしくは John Farrar の目に）とまったのでしょう。
オリビアは 2nd アルバムで既に Don McLean の "Winterwood" をカバーしていますので、この "If We Try" で2曲目になります。
オリビアの "If We Try" は Don のオリジナルに対してやや地味なアレンジになっています。
もう少し力強いアレンジの方がよかったような気がします。
