IT'S NOT FOR THE WANT OF TRYING
>From the film "Don't Ever Leave Me" (1949)
(Jack Fishman / Peter Hart)


Petula Clark (Film Soundtrack - 1949


It's not for the want of trying
That I can't make you understand
It's not any use denying
My intentions aren't going as planned

I whisper obvious sighs
Say the words with my eyes
But you still haven't got a clue
It's not for the want of trying, darling
What am I to do to make you love me too
To make you love me too
