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

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

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

(For a little while)
