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 fighting 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
I hear you on the telephone
With God knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girl, that someone should be me
So many times I've 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 fighting 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
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 fighting 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 its love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
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 upinside)
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
