Lyrics
Being in Love (Not Trying to Be)

1
I long ago stopped figuring out
What that lovin' stuff's all about
I gave it my best shot time after time
But never got it right
2
Trouble was I tried too hard
Like kids shooting hoops in the yard
My world was brightened up when she breezed by
I realized not to try
Chorus:
I'm BEING IN LOVE, NOT TRYIN' TO BE
There's a massive difference
I opened my heart when she arrived
I didn't try, just realized that she was bringing me love
3
We've been together nearly a year
What love's all about's crystal clear
It's not about an effort to impress
These couldn't matter less:
4
What you're worth and what you wear
Make of car you drive, pampered hair
It's knowing you can ease off all that stuff
Just share the smooth and rough
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge:
We talked at least three hours the day that we first met
Our instantaneous attraction changed me
REPEAT CHORUS
