lyrics

Every girl you’ve had
Is the cheapest thing
Bought and sold it’s sad
When you need something

If you want to know
The ruse is up it’s clear we see through
It’s nothing that new
We can’t compete it’s all about you

You’re trying too hard
You’re trying too hard
You’re trying too hard to please me
You know you can’t ever keep me

You’re trying too hard
You’re trying too hard
You’re trying too hard to please me
You know you just can’t deceive me

Who could really care
If you need a thing
You don’t have a prayer
But your still asking

If you ever cared,
You would see that lying’s cut through
It’s your blood that drew
Keep on sinking
It’s coming to you

And you've no regard for what you're doing
Pass us all by left in ruin
Cities fall but you'll keep moving
But there one thing you’ll never get,
So give on me darling you’re just

Trying too hard (And you keep on)
You’re trying too hard (And you keep on pushing)
You’re trying too hard to please me
You know you can’t ever keep me

You’re trying too hard (And you keep on)
You’re trying too hard (And you keep on pushing)
You’re trying too hard to please me
You know you just can’t deceive me
