The Harder I Try (12" version) Lyrics

VERSE 1
WHENEVER I MEET YOU
YOU GIVE ME SUCH A RUNAROUND
THE MORE THAT I SEE YOU
THE MORE YOU JUST PUT ME DOWN
BRIDGE 1
AND EVEN IN FRONT OF ALL MY FRIENDS
YOU JUST WANNA HURT ME
BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP HOPING
'TIL I MAKE YOU MINE

CHORUS
THE HARDER I TRY
THE FURTHER AWAY FROM ME
IT'S SLIPPING
BUT I GO ON TRYING
TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME

VERSE 2
I WANTED TO SEE YOU
I CALL YOU ON THE TELEPHONE
JUST TO BE NEAR YOU
THEY TELL ME THAT YOU'RE NOT HOME

BRIDGE 2
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY
THAT I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU SO BADLY
BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP HOPING
'TIL I MAKE YOU MINE
CHORUS
THE HARDER I TRY
THE FURTHER AWAY FROM ME
IT'S SLIPPING
BUT I GO ON TRYING
TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME
TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME

MIDDLE 8
I GO ON TRYING
I GO ON TRYING
I GO ON TRYING
I GO ON TRYING
VERSE 3
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

BRIDGE 3
AND EVEN IN FRONT OF ALL MY FRIENDS
YOU JUST WANNA HURT ME
BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP HOPING
'TIL I MAKE YOU MINE

CHORUS
THE HARDER I TRY
THE FURTHER AWAY FROM ME
IT'S SLIPPING
BUT I GO ON TRYING
TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME
