KEEP ON TRYING
(Van McCoy)


Bobby Vee - 1965



I'm gonna make you love me, just you wait and see
Though it may take the year, I'll make you fall in love with me
'Cause nobody else will do now, I want you now
And I'll keep on tryin' 

Baby, you can't ignore me, whenever I come around
You treat me cruel, call me a fool, but, baby, I'll be your clown
And hide all the hurtin' inside in, tuck my pride in
And keep on tryin', yeah, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'

They say a constant drop of water can tear a stone apart
But, baby, I'll take constant love and break the wall around your heart
You can't drive me away now, gonna stay now
And keep on tryin', yeah, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'

Maybe I'm bein' stubborn, maybe I'm wastin' time
But stubborn I'll be until I see that you will never be mine
Then I'll try forgettin' about you, livin' without you
And keep on tryin', yeah, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
I'm gonna keep on tryin'
