Take me for a little while

I’ve been trying
To make you love me
But everything I try
Just takes you further from me
You don’t love me
So you treat me cruel
But no matter how you hurt me
I’ll always be your fool

[Chorus:]
If you don’t want me forever
And if you don’t need me forever
And if you can’t love me forever
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you baby
(For a little while)
So I can make you want me

I’ve got to stop it
There should be a law
Cause every time you put me down
I love you more
And I feel so helpless
And it ain’t funny
Cause deep inside I know
You’re never gonna love me
[Chorus]
