I'm gonna try my best to love him
Don't know why I want him so
Yeah, I'll try and keep him by my side
I won't ever let him go
For I've learned too much in my poor life
To laught at humour I can't see
It's sad, I know, that I can't show my love
But I won't set him free
So I'm gonna try my best to love him
Even if it takes all night long
And if this feeling hurts me
I've heard pain can make you strong
And I know that I'm not his girl
I never really thought I'd care
But to see him in your arms
That's the one thing I can't bear
If you said I had no heart
Well, I hardly think I'd cry
'Cause there ain't one thing you know about me
That I'd bother to deny
And it's not that I don't find him sweet
I know too well his voice, his touch, his eyes
And, often, underneath
I wonder that I try this much
Still, it would be a shameful lie
To say I love this boy- this man
But I am fond; he is fine
So, in the end, perhaps I can
I agree, this child deserves
A better friend and lover, too
But I'm gonna try my best to love him
Just to keep him far from you
