Trying too hard

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

You're trying too hard but keep trying

You're trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is I'm not buying
