Trying Too Hard
Day One

I said, ‽You're the woman from last night

Standing just to my right

You're the one that said I was sweet

When I left your kiss in my cheek”


And said, ‽We could hook up sometime maybe

Well, now is a good a time as any”

She said, ‽I don't mean to offend you

But you're not quite how I remembered you”


‽You seemed to look a lot better then

But I think, you're nice as a friend

So pull up a seat and sit down

We're just having a drink and hanging out”


So, I tried to play it sexy and hurt

She said, ‽I came across as an introvert”

So I changed to being a deep and profound

Until she asked me, if I was feeling down

And when I told her that I was well read

She looked at me and just said

(Waouf, waouf!)


‽You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is I'm not buying”


So I phoned her that weekend

She said, she's seeing a barman called Jonathan

He wears nice clothes and keeps his hair neat

But I could give her a call back next week


So, next week we're out to coffee

She tells me, she's really gone off me

I say, ‽Gone off me? Hey you, don't know me”

She said, ‽Exactly, so don't phone me”

I said, ‽You haven't even given this a chance”

She smiled and looked with a glance and said

(Waouf, waouf!)


‽You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying


You're trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is I'm not buying”


‽You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is I'm not buying”


When is this loneliness gonna end and

When will they stop crawling about their boyfriends

(Boyfriends)

When is a girl gonna get with me

(Me)

There must be one in this city see?

(See)

All I want is something that's real

(Real)

I'm tired of having to spiel

(Spiel)


Two months later she phones me up now

Saying, ‽Hey I heard you're doing well now

Let's you and me go out for a meal

'Cause I've never told you how I really feel”


‽So, how about it and you can meet me”

I said, ‽Which me, did you wanna see?

I got a girl now, who knows who I am

So I can be my own man, I'm flattered but”


‽You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is I'm not buying”


‽You're trying too hard but keep trying girl

You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying girl

Whatever it is I'm not buying”
