I said, ââ¬Â½You'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 cheekââ¬Â
And said, ââ¬Â½We could hook up sometime maybe
Well, now is a good a time as anyââ¬Â
She said, ââ¬Â½I don't mean to offend you
But you're not quite how I remembered youââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½You 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 outââ¬Â
So, I tried to play it sexy and hurt
She said, ââ¬Â½I came across as an introvertââ¬Â
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!)
ââ¬Â½You'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 buyingââ¬Â
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, ââ¬Â½Gone off me? Hey you, don't know meââ¬Â
She said, ââ¬Â½Exactly, so don't phone meââ¬Â
I said, ââ¬Â½You haven't even given this a chanceââ¬Â
She smiled and looked with a glance and said
(Waouf, waouf!)
ââ¬Â½You'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 buyingââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½You'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 buyingââ¬Â
When is this loneliness gonna end and
When will they stop crawling about their boyfriends
(Boyfriends)
When is a girl gonna get with me
There must be one in this city 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, ââ¬Â½Hey 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 feelââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½So, how about it and you can meet meââ¬Â
I said, ââ¬Â½Which 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 butââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½You'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 buyingââ¬Â
ââ¬Â½You'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 buyingââ¬Â
