(him)
i see your face cloud over like a little girl's,
and your eyes have lost thier shine.
you whisper something softly i'm not meant to hear,
baby, tell me what's on your mind.
(her)
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?
(him)
please listen to me, girl.
:|| chorus
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?
i 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.
(her)
so many times, i tried to tell you,
you just turned away.
(him) how did i know?
(her)
my life is changing so fast now,
leaves me lonely and afraid.
(him) don't be afraid, no.
(both) :|| chorus
(him) don't let our love fade away.
(her) don't let our love fade away.
(him) no matter what people say.
(her) no matter, no matter what they say.
(him) i need you more and more each day.
(her) don't let our love fade away.
(him)no matter what people say.
(her) no matter, no matter what they say.
(both) :|| chorus
(him) can't we try, baby, can't we give a little bit, little bit
--------fade out-------
