Can't We Try

I see your face cloud over like a little girl's

And your eyes have lost their shine

You whisper something softly I’m not meant to hear

Baby, tell me what's on your mind

I don't care what people say

About the two of us from different worlds

I love you so much that it hurts inside

Are you listening, please listen to me, girl

Can't we try just a little bit harder

Can't we give just a little bit more

Can't we try to understand

That it's love we're fighting for

Can't we try just a little more passion

Can't we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby that it tears me up inside

I hear you on the telephone with god-knows-who

Spilling out your heart for free

Everyone needs someone they can talk to

Girl, that someone should be me

So many times I’ve tried to tell you

You just turned away (how did I know)

My life is changing so fast now

Leaves me lonely and afraid (don't be afraid, no)

Can’t we try just a little bit harder

Can’t we give just a little bit more

Can’t we try to understand

That it’s love we're fighting for

Oh can’t we try just a little more passion

Can’t we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby that it tears me up inside

Don't let our love fade away

(Don't let our love fade away)

No matter what people say

(No matter, no matter what they say)

Well I need you more and more each day

(Don't let our love fade away)

No matter what people say

(No matter, no matter what they say)

Can’t we try just a little bit harder

Can’t we give just a little bit more

Can’t we try just a little bit harder

Can’t we give just a little bit more

Can’t we try just a little more passion

Can’t we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby, it tears me up inside

Oh, can’t we give a little bit more

Just a little bit harder

Can’t we give, whoa

Can’t we try, can’t we give
