Tried everything I could of
Tried to win your heart
Tried to be someone I’m not
Tried to be smart
Couldn’t seem to change ya
Or make you see
Just-how-much-I want-ya-type hyperbole
No matter what I try
No matter what I do
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
Haven’t got a chance
Haven’t got a clue
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
Tried to be square with you
Never told you a lie
Well maybe just that one time
Does that disqualify me
Can’t say what it is about you
I’m guessin’ everything
From your head down to your toes
You make my heart go zing
Love the way you move your hands
Love the shape of your smile
Love the way you lean in real close
Like you’re gonna stick around for awhile
Love the way you look thoughtful
Love the way that you think
Love you every which way
It’s almost like we’re in sync
