I never understand what you do to me,

But I'll never get right down on bended knee,

But I cry and I cry and I cry



I don't think you know you've done me wrong,

But still I've been in love now oh so long

But I try and I try and I try,

and you don't believe me



I give you my house, my heart, my home,

When I'm gone you're not alone

You never hear a thing I say,

And it happens every day



Why, why, why, why, why, why are you never home ?

While I, I, I, I, I, sit here by the phone

'Cause I try and I try and I try,

and you don't believe me



Oh lord, I give you my house, my heart, my home,

When I'm gone you're not alone

You never hear a thing I say,

And it happens every day



Why, why, why, why, why, why are you never home ?

While I, I, I, I, I, sit here by the phone

'Cause I try and I try and I try,

and you don't believe me

Well I try and I try and I try,

and you don't believe me

Well I try and I try and I try,

and you don't believe me
