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 let you kiss 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 ** **
you¡¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡­ x3
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
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 **
you¡¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡­ x3
whatever it is I¡¯m not buying
you¡¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡­ x3
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)
2 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
cos 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¡­ x3
whatever it is I¡¯m not buying
you¡¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡­ x3
whatever it is I¡¯m not buying
