lyrics

If you see that boy with skinny jeans
standing up against the bar,
the one who wears the T-shirts of the bands he's never seen.
He's much too cool to talk to you,
but if you get his attention.
Would you tell him this for me?
For me?

Don't try so hard,
Now, honey,
Don't try so hard.
I said, don't try so hard,
Now, sugar,
Don't try so hard.

If you see that trendy girl,
the one with orange hair and injured pride,
the lover scorned who is much too cool to smile.
She's the one who goes to all the underground art shows
just to talk some shit about everybody that she knows.

Or if you see that girl with leather pants
and knee-high boots.
She's the one who thinks she's on reality TV.
She probably will not talk to you
cause she's famous and you just don't know it yet,
but would you tell her this for me?
For me?

Don't try so hard,
Now, honey,
Don't try so hard.
I said, don't try so hard,
Now, sugar,
Don't try so hard.

I promise we will still love you if you give us something real.
I promise we will still love you if you give us something real.
I promise we will,
I promise we will,
I promise we will still love you if you
don't try so hard, now honey,
don't try so hard.
I said, don't try so hard!
Don't try so hard!
