I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t hear

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t hear

She turned her back on me,

Busy fixing peppermint Green Tea

We started talking ‘bout the weather outside

I couldn’t look her in the eye

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t hear

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t hear

I tried to tell her, I tried to sell her on the new idea

I said you cared for me

As she contemplated her Green Tea

She seemed to sparkle as she gladly described

The benefits her tea provides

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t hear

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, but she wouldn’t hear

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell it all despite my fear 

I sat her next to me

And I drank her peppermint Green Tea

One laughing look was all it took to decide

That ev’rything had been a lie

I tried to tell her, I tried to tell but she already knew
