Trying Too Hard Lyrics – John Reuben

Trying Too Hard Lyrics by John Reuben

Oh, oh, mm
Oh, buddy, the freaks come out at night
‘Til they can no longer afford to socialize
Ha!

I left the party early. What’s wrong with me?
I’m at the diner down the corner
On my fifth cup of coffee
Pen in hand, trying to recreate that feeling

Staring at the ceiling
Make them think that you’re thinking
Cigarettes and aspirin
Thoughts on a napkin

Wadded up in the trash can asking
Oh, what happened to your imagination?
Let’s dance this night away
Every one of us is born a genius

Until we got too cool to play
I said you’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural

You look uncomfortable
You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural

Relax a little
One for the drinks, two for the tip
Three for rent. The rest is for the government
Ha!

Work all day, spend it in the evening
Overpriced drinks, room full of needy friends
Are we having a good time?
Absolutely. Who wouldn’t be?

You can introduce me to the moody cuties and dudes who
Act like I’m ‘sposed to know who they should be
Well, I don’t, nor do I care
Stop trying so hard and put both hands up in the air

You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
You look uncomfortable

You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
Relax a little

If the kids all leave, we’ll shut the place down
But until then, let’s go another round
I said, until then let’s go another round
I said, until then let’s go another— ahem, yeah

Who are these kids, causing disorderly conduct?
Telemarketers and busboys trying to tear the club up
Gettin’ rowdy rowdy. Hey, man, I ain’t gonna front
If the DJ plays my record, that’s exactly what I want

Oh, what happened to your imagination?
Let’s dance this night away
Every one of us is born a genius
Until we got too cool to play

I said you’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
You look uncomfortable

You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
Relax a little

You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
You look uncomfortable

You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
Relax a little

Oh, buddy, the freaks come out at night
‘Til they can no longer afford to socialize
Yeah, one for the beverages, two for the tip
Three for rent. The rest is for the government

Are we having a good time?
Hey, waitress, I did not order this
