The Harder I Try
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whenever I meet you
You give me such a runaround
The more that I see you
The more you just put me down
Even in front of all my friends
You just wanna hurt me (hurt me)
But I'll never give up hoping
'Till I make you mine, ohoho
The harder I try (ooohooohooohooohooo)
The further away from me it's slipping
I go on trying (ooohooo) to make you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
I wanted to see you (see you)
I call you on the telephone
Just to be near you (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 (so badly)
But I'll never give up hoping
'Till I make you mine, ohoho
The harder I try (ooohooohooohooohooo)
The further away from me it's slipping
I go on trying (ooohooo) to make you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
The harder I try (ooohooohooohooohooo)
The further away from me it's slipping
I go on trying (ooohooo) to make you love me
(Love me, love me, 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 (believed them)
Just put them right in their place
I tried to impress you (impress you)
But you threw it back in my face
Even in front of all my friends
You just wanna hurt me (hurt me)
But I'll never give up hoping
'Till I make you mine, ohoho
The harder I try (ooohooohooohooohooo)
The further away from me it's slipping
I go on trying (ooohooo) to make you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
The harder I try (ooohooohooohooohooo)
The further away from me it's slipping
I go on trying (ooohooo) to make you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
The harder I try (ooohooohooohooohooo)
The further away from me it's slipping
I go on trying (ooohooo) to make you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
