Day One - Trying Too Hard Lyrics

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”
