Lyrics

[Intro]
Duh-da-da-da, duh-da-da-da
Duh-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
[Verse 1]
Like the birds in the trees, my heart sings a rhapsody of love for you
Girl, you won my heart the very first time I laid eyes on you
I know your love belongs to someone else
But girl, I got to have you for myself
[Chorus]
So, I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo
Gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo
[Verse 2]
A fallen star, that's what you are, from the heavens above
There's no treasure on earth, that can match your worth
You're a picture of love
I know to you I'm just a love sick guy, but you're wrong
I love ya and I need you by my side
[Chorus]
So, I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo
I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo
[Bridge]
Aw, yeah
Baby
Keep on
[Verse 3]
I can't help but thinkin' 'bout that guy that's got you by his side
He's got everything
There's is no inch of his happiness to be in his place
I'll be glad to give you anything
I know your love belongs to him
But girl, I can't be satisfied just being your friend
[Outro]
So, I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love, woo
Gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love
Everyday, baby
Gonna keep on trying, got to keep on trying till I win your love
No matter what it takes
I'm gonna keep on trying, just keep on trying till I win your love
Girl, believe me
