Introduce This to Your Parents

[Verse 1] I’ve been counting ways to tell you that this isn’t working out in my head “Is there a problem? You can tell me,” she said But despite my best intentions, what would I say to you now? With all the “I’m sorry”s that come out your mouth You’ve promised me a good time in your town But I’m not driving that distance just to turn around [Chorus] So, maybe you should try harder To begin to try trying less I swear I’m not this hard to impress [Verse 2] And you’re way too funny to give me much less I’ll chalk it up to inexperience But still, you’ve kept your mouth shut The cat’s got your tongue In a fit of apprehension And I wish I had the courage to say this to your face You’ll forgive me one day But this song will outlive us both anyway, any day [Chorus] So, maybe you should try harder To begin to try trying less I swear I’m not this hard to impress [Verse 3] So, take this song home with you ‘Cause I’ll never see it for myself You can introduce it to your parents Or frame it on your shelf
