I Tried to Rock You But You Only Roll is a pop/rock album by Leona Naess, her second album, released in 2001 by MCA Records.

Naess wrote much of the album while on tour in support of her debut album, Comatised (2000). She considered the album a second chapter of her debut, but felt more confident recording it at the age of 26.[4] The title track, "I Tried to Rock You But You Only Roll" and "Mayor Of Your Town" were released as singles. The Japanese release contains two bonus tracks: "Favorite Ghost", and "Come, Come".
