Track 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

TO FADE
