[Verse 1]
He wore Italian shoes
Like that's supposed to mean something
I mean I could wear Italian shoes too
And it wouldn't mean a thing to me
Except maybe the first time I wore 'em
And I was trying to get to you

[Pre-Chorus]
I mean it's not like I'm trying to get to you
It's like I'm trying to be with you
And it's not like I'm trying
Because you know I wanna be
And it's not like I wanna be with you
Because I already am with you
And it's not like I am with you
Because I'm far away
What I'm trying to say

[Verse 2]
She had the hair of a star
Like that's supposed to mean something
I mеan I could make my hair look real good too
And it wouldn't mean a thing to mе
Except maybe if it turned out perfect
And it turned out that I got to you (I got to you)
[Pre-Chorus]
I mean it's not like I'm trying to be a star for you
It's like I'm trying to be with you
And it's not like I'm trying
Because you know I wanna be
And it's not like I wanna be with you
Because I already am with you
And it's not like I am with you
Because I'm far away
What I'm trying to say

[Chorus]
What I'm trying to say is
What I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to say is
What I'm trying to say

[Verse 3]
You could tell me I love you
Like that's supposed to mean something
I mean I could always say I love you too
And it wouldn't mean a thing to me
Except every time you'd say it
I'd probably fall in love with you

[Pre-Chorus]
I mean it's not like I'm trying to fall for you
It's like I'm trying to be with you
And it's not like I'm trying
Because you know I wanna be
And it's not like I wanna be with you
Because I already am with you
And it's not like I am with you
Because I'm far away
What I'm trying to say
[Chorus]
What I'm trying to say is
What I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to say is
What I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to say is
What I'm trying to say
What I'm trying to say is
What I'm trying to say
