Johnny Rodriguez - Trying Not To Love You Lyrics
Trying not to love you failing in every way
With you around I keep loosing ground everyday
Trying to be fair both to me and to you
Trying not to love you is hard to do
I guess it's no use fighting what everybody knows
Cause to other eyes there's no disguise for the love that shows
If I'm not being clear baby both to me and to you
Trying not to love you is hard to do
I guess it's no use fighting what everybody knows
Cause to other eyes there's no disguise for the love that shows
If I'm not being clear baby both to me and to you
Trying not to love you is hard to do
Trying not to love you is hard to do
