The Harder I try
Whenever I meet you, you give me such a run-around,
The more that I see you, the more you just me down.
And even in front of all my friends you just wanna hurt me,
But I'll never give up hoping 'til I make you mine.
The harder I try, the further away from me it's slipping,
I go on trying to make you love me.
I wanted to see you, I call you on the telephone
Just to be near you, they tell me that you're not home.
I guess you could say that I'm a fool to want you so badly,
But I'll never give up hoping 'til I make you mine.
The harder I try, the further away from me it's slipping,
I go on trying to make you love me.
The harder I try, the further away from me it's slipping,
I go on trying to make you love me.
I go on trying, trying, I go on trying, trying,
I go on trying, trying, I go on trying, trying.
I should have believed them, just put them right in their place,
I tried to impress you, but you threw it back in my face.
And even in front of all my friends you just wanna hurt me,
But I'll never give up hoping 'til I make you mine.
The harder I try, the further away from me it's slipping,
I go on trying to make you love me.
The harder I try, the further away from me it's slipping,
I go on trying to make you love me.
