I've tried hard to do my best, ooh baby
So I could stand out from the rest, yeah
I can't figure out what you're all about, no
And I'm left standing here in doubt

(Can't you see) I want you
(Can't you see) yeah, yeah, yeah
(You're doing me wrong)
For much too long (for much too long)
Baby, I can't go on, no, this way

Girl, I wish you only knew, ooh baby
What you're putting this man through, yeah
Sometimes I think you're on my side, baby
Well, but you keep changing with the evening tide

(Can't you see) I want you
(Can't you see) yeah, yeah, yeah
(You're doing me wrong)
For much too long (for much too long)
Baby, I can't go on, no, this way

Ooh, there must be something I can do, do
To get this message through to you, you
And you know that I can't give up on you, no
No matter what I try to do

(Can't you see) I want you
(Can't you see) yeah, yeah, yeah
(You're doing me wrong)
For much too long (for much too long)
Baby, I can't go on, no, this way

(Can't you see) I want you
Why you hurt me, baby
(Can't you see)
Why you wanna make me feel so bad, baby
(Can't you see)
Said I want you, ooh, oh yeah
(Can't you see)
Ohh, baby
(Can't you see)
Girl, and I'm trying hard to do my best
(Can't you see)
Girl, I wanna stand out from the rest, baby
(Can't you see)
I said I want you, ooh, oh yeah
(Can't you see)
I'll give you what you want
I'll give you what you need, baby
(Can't you see)
Girl, I've tried hard to do my best
(Can't you see)
Girl, I wanna stand out from the rest
(Can't you see)
Baby, baby, baby, I want you, ooh, oh yeah
(Can't you see)
