Whenever I need you

you give me

such a runaround

the more that I see you

the more you just

put me down

Even in front

of all my friends

you just wanna hurt me

but I'll never give up hopin'

'til I make you mine, Woah

The harder I try

the further away

from me it's slippin'

I go on trying

to make you love me

I wanted to see you

I call you on

the telephone

just to be near you

they tell me that

you're not home

I guess you could say

that I'm a fool

to want you so badly

but I'll never give up hopin'

'til I make you mine, Woah

The harder I try

the further away

from me it's slippin'

I go on trying

to make you love me

The harder I try

the further away

from me it's slippin'

I go on trying

to make you love me

I go on trying, trying

I go on trying, trying

I go on trying, trying

I go on trying, trying

I should have believed them

just put them right

in their place

I tried to impress you

but you threw it

back in my face

Even in front

of all my friends

you just wanna hurt me

but I'll never give up hopin'

'til I make you mine, Woah

The harder I try

the further away

from me it's slippin'

I go on trying

to make you love me

The harder I try

the further away

from me it's slippin'

I go on trying

to make you love me

The harder I try

the further away

from me it's slippin'

I go on trying

to make you love me
