Trying to tie my shoes but there ain't no laces
Trying to read the bible but there ain't no pages
Trying to climb a ladder but their ain't no wall
I've been trying to make him love me but he just won't fall
Trying to start a fire but their ain't no flame
Trying to ride a horse but its leg's gone lame
Trying to buy a truck but it's just been sold
I've been trying to make him love me but his heart's stone cold
What have I gotta do
What have I gotta do
What have I gotta do
What have I gotta do
Trying to sew a button but I've got no thread
Trying to fire a pistol but I've got no lead
Trying to catch a breath but there ain't no air
I've been trying to make him love me but he just don't care
What have I gotta do
What have I gotta do
What have I gotta do
What have I gotta do
Trying to play guitar but it's got no strings
Trying to write a song but I just can't sing
Trying to dig for gold but I keep hitting dirt
I've been trying to make him love me but he only loves her
