I'm a lonely man with a lonely life
  A full-time job and part-time wife
  And the grindstone just goes on and on
  You're a lonely girl that's a lonely wife
  Gotta three bedroom and an empty life
  And you're not quite sure
  Just where it all went wrong
  There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away
  But there's a whole lot ridin' on this love so baby what's ya say
    Let's give it one good shot
  Let's really give it all we got
  We can take it nice and slow
  Baby don't you want to go back
  Where we had a chance
  And we danced our dance
  In a world where a heart could never shatter
  We might go down cryin'
  But at least our love will die
  Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
    We've come a long way so don't forget
  let's don't throw our hands up yet
  We've still got time
  To change our mind
  Honey let's give it our best tonight
  If we still ain't got it right
  We can always, always say goodbye
  Somewhere I guess we let go, lost a little ground
  One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around
    Let's give it one good shot
  Let's really give it all we got
  We can take it nice and slow
  Baby don't you want to go back
  Where we had a chance
  And we danced our dance
  In a world where a heart could never shatter
  We might go down cryin'
  But at least our love will die
  Tryin' to matter
  We might go down cryin'
  At least our love will die
  Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
