Lyrics Try Too Hard (Live) - Common Rotation

It doesn't have to be clever
It doesn't have to be true
Doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure
Doesn't have to be true

Doesn't have to make sense
Doesn't have to be funny
Doesn't have to make sense, no
It just has to make money

Oh
We sigh
Oh

Still we try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard

It doesn't have to say "no"
It doesn't have to say "yes"
Doesn't have to have anything to show
It doesn't have to be the best

But hey, there's no pressure
To perform or compete
No there's no cautionary measure
To diminish your defeat

Oh
Bands on the radio sigh
Oh

Still you try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard

No, that's not the way it should be
No, it should come off so easy
No, that's not the way it should be

Doesn't have to be clever
Doesn't have to be new
Doesn't have to do whatever
Doesn't have to be true

Still you try too hard

Still you try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
Try too hard
(Repeat 3x)
