[Refrain]
As hard as I try, I can't reach him
To show him what love is all about
Each word I say drives him farther away
And it looks like our love is burning out

[Verse 1]
I spent my life trying to please him
If only he let me be his girl
And open the door that I've knocked on before
And love me as much as he can

[Chorus]
A moment ago, he didn't see me
Lost in his world so far away
A moment or so can be a lifetime if you know
That he's leaving and there's nothing you can say

[Verse 2]
Once in a while, I get lonesome
There's people in love, sometimes must be
And I’m feeling blue, surely ain't nothing new
'Cause being lonesome is easy for me

[Chorus]
A moment ago, he didn't see me
Lost in his world so far away
A moment or so can be a lifetime if you know
That he's leaving and there's nothing you can say
[Refrain]
As hard as I try, I can't reach him
To show him what love is all about
Each word I say drives him farther away
And it looks like our love is burning out
