Trying Too Hard

I said youre the woman from last night

Standing just to my right

Youre 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 dont mean to offend you

But youre not quite how I remembered you

You seemed to look a lot better then

But I think youre nice as a friend

So pull up a seat and sit down

Were 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 !

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is Im not buying

So I phoned her that weekend

She said shes 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 were out to coffee

She tells me shes really gone off me

I say gone off me? hey you dont know me

She said exactly so dont phone me

I said you havent even given this a chance

She smiled and looked with a glance and said : waouf waouf !

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is Im not buying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is Im 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 thats real (real)

Im tired of having to spiel (spiel)

Two months later she phones me up now

Saying hey I heard youre doing well now

Lets you and me go out for a meal

cause Ive 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 Im flattered but

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is Im not buying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Youre trying too hard but keep trying

Whatever it is Im not buying
