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.
