The Inclinations
The Harder We Try
The harder we try, the more we cry
The harder we try, the more we cry

I don't want another, this seems useless to bother
With the love, with the love

But I must satisfy what I feel inside
And what I feel is love, what I feel is love
Yes, I must be a fool to keep on loving
And I know you feel the way I feel too

The harder we try, the more we cry
The harder we try, the more we cry

I don’t want another, this seems useless to bother
With the love, with the love

Now tell me what makes you the way that you are?
What makes you play with my heart?
Though I'm in love with you and I can't break loose from you

The harder we try, the more we cry
The harder we try, the more we cry

Though it seems we can’t win
And it's got to be a sin to stay right here and get nowhere
It's not easy, I know, but we've got to let love go
Than stay right here and get nowhere
