[Verse 1]

They say I act around you

Different than I usually do

They say that I've even

Given special treatment

I'd deny it but I can't

What you don't seem to understand

Is I won't just take your hand

I've left signs but you take no notice

[Chorus]

Why's it so hard?

Why's it so hard?

Why's it so hard?

I've given you a headstart

I know us girls aren't easy

But come on

What do you need to see?

I've given you a headstart

[Verse 2]

I've more pride than many

This is kind of rare for me

Everyone knows that it's true

You're the only one in the room

But you don't see me, do you?

Must be blind how not to

That's alright I'll keep on

Putting myself on the line

[Chorus]

Why's it so hard?

Why's it so hard?

Why's it so hard?

I've given you a headstart

I know us girls aren't easy

But come on

What do you need to see?

I've given you a headstart

[Bridge]

Is there a way to get your attention

Without looking like a fool?

Should I slip it in our conversations?

By the way, I love you

[Chorus]

Why's it so hard?

Why's it so hard?

Why's it so hard?

I've given you a headstart

I know us girls aren't easy

But come on

What do you need to see?

I've given you a headstart
