'Cause I'll keep tryin' 'til you come on homeKeep tryin' 'til my time has comeKeep tryin' 'til you come on home to me
It's sung to a melody something like this:
The notes to which the "tryin'"s are sung have the longest values (aside from the one to which "me" at the end is sung), and this extended duration matches the persistency of "keep."
The repetition of "keep tryin'" (as anaphora in the lead vocals and as a sort of stretto in the overdubbed backing vocals) also gives a sense of constancy.
