Can't We Try

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

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?

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 fightin' 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

Spillin' out your heart for free

Everyone needs someone they can talk to

Girl, that someone should be me

So many times I 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)

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 fightin' 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

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)

'Cause 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 to understand

That it's love we're fightin' for?

Can't we try just a little more passion?

Can't we try just a little less pride?

Love you so much, baby, that it tears me up inside

(It tears me up inside)

Can't we try just a little bit harder?

(Can't we try?)

Can't we give just a little bit more?

(A little bit more)

Can't we try to understand

That it's love we're fightin' for?

(Love we're fightin' for)

Can't we try just a little more passion?

(Baby, can't we try now?)

Can't we try just a little less pride?

(A little less pride)

Love you so much, baby, that it tears me up inside

(It tears me up inside)

Can't we try just a little bit harder?

(Can't we try?)

Can't we give just a little bit more?

(A little bit more)

Can't we try to understand

That it's love we're fightin' for?
