Trying Too Hard

Oh buddy the freaks come out at night

Till 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 your 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

Everyone 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

Work all day, spend it in the evening

Over priced 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 supposed to know they should be

Well I don't nor do I care

Stop trying so hard and put both hands up in the air

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

Who are these kids causing disorderly conduct

Telemarketers and bus boys trying to tear the club up

Getting rowdy rowdy

Hey man I aint' 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

Everyone of us is born a genius

Until we got too cool to play

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
