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 a fool

If you don't want me (forever)
If you don't need me (forever)
If you don't love me (forever)
(Take me for a little while)
I got to make you love me
(For a little while)
Just got to make you want me

I got to stop it
There should be a law (baby, I need you)
And no matter how you put me down
I love you more

I feel so helpless
And it ain't funny
'Cause deep down inside I know
You're never gonna love me

If you don't want me (forever)
If you don't need me (forever)
If you don't love me (forever)
(Take me for a little while)
I got to make you love me
(For a little while)
Just got to make you want me
