[Verse]
Looking out and it's getting light
Writing words from left to right
But I try, but I try just a little too hard
I see a girl and she looks my way
I say to her "Do you want to stay?"
But I try, but I try just a little too hard
[Chorus]
My my, I've got to take it easy
Like the doctor said
My back can't think of Britain
Running through my head
My my, I've got to stop my pushing
I'm going 'round and 'round
Take a breath and recognize my feelings
I've got to slow it down
[Hook]
I've worked my fingers down to the bone
I'm tired of working all alone, but I try
But I try just a little too hard
[Chorus]
My my, I've got to take it easy
Like the doctor said
My back can't think of Britain
Running through my head
My my, I've got to stop my pushing
I'm going 'round and 'round
Take a breath and recognize my feelings
I've got to slow it down
[Hook]
I've worked my fingers down to the bone
I'm tired of working all alone, but I try
But I try just a little too hard
[Refrain]
But I try, but I try just a little too hard
But I try, but I try just a little too hard
