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 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
