I've been trying

To make you love me

But everything I try

Just takes you further from me

You don't love me

So you treat me cruel

But no matter how you hurt me

I'll always be your fool



[Chorus:]

If you don't want me forever

And if you don't need me forever

And if you can't love me forever

Take me for a little while

So I can hold you baby

(For a little while)

So I can make you want me



I've got to stop it

There should be a law

Cause every time you put me down

I love you more

And I feel so helpless

And it ain't funny

Cause deep inside I know

You're never gonna love me



[Chorus]
