Lyrics

try harD

[Intro: TATYANA]

Play that track again

[Chorus: TATYANA]

Yeah, I know it (Yeah, I know it)

But the look on my face doesn't show it

Yeah, I know it

But the look on my face doesn't show it

Doesn't show it (Yeah)

See us show up, turn the power on

And watch the system blow up (Yeah)

You know you want it

But you're trying too hard for me

[Verse 1: Sabrina Di Giulio & TATYANA]

(Go, Sabs)

Bass too loud, brain hurts, it's perfect

Room so hot I scream, "It's worth it"

No light, please, I don't wanna see shit

Body sick, noise, sweat

This is what you need

[Chorus: TATYANA & Sabrina Di Giulio, TATYANA]

Yeah, I know it

But the look on my face doesn't show it

Doesn't show it, now

Yeah, I know it

But the look on my face doesn't show it

It doesn't show it now

[Verse 2: TATYANA]

It's a miracle we made it this far (Uh-huh)

Think I wanna take you in a fast car

Go hard, my god, don't you know what I got? (I got?)

Put the pedal to the floor, don't stop (No)

It's a miraclе we made it this long (Uh-huh)

Baby drivin' like hе in the F1

No gun, home run, 'cause he know what I want

Think I had him from the very first song, yeah

[Chorus: TATYANA & Sabrina Di Giulio, TATYANA]

Yeah, I know it

But the look on my face doesn't show it

Doesn't show it, now

Yeah, I know it

But the look on my face doesn't show it

See us show up, turn the power on

And watch the system blow up (Uh-huh)

You know you want it

But you're trying too hard for me
