[Parlé]
Can I share this with you?
Baby, you know imagination is really funny
Sometimes it´s very hard to do, it´s... impossible

Many nights and days, I... I´ve tried to imagine, what it would be like to love you
I´ve even tried to imagine, what you would look like, being loved
And I, I...  I can´t do it
I´m trying to do what a gentleman would do
Trying to be patient and tolerant, all the things that a man is supposed to be
But... I just wanted you to know very honestly, that I´m very anxious to be with you

[Sung]
It´s getting harder all the time
Just to keep myself from wanting you
Harder every day, for me to stay away
Knowing, girl without your loving
I ain´t worth one dime
It´s getting harder, harder all the time

All the time
It´s getting hard every night
Just to keep my hands from touching you
Oh darling, what am I to do ???
And I hear you sigh
I might as well kiss my poor heart goodbye
And start to cry
It´s getting harder, harder all the time
All the time
There´s no fighting what I feel
Oh, God knows, I´ve tried
Tried to hold back my love from you
It´s like trying to hold back the tide
It´s getting harder, harder, harder all the time
I can´t stop needing you
Oh, harder every day, for me to find a away
To keep myself from the tenderness
Of your lips touching mine

It´s getting harder, harder all the time
All the time

I ain´t worth a dime
It´s getting harder, harder all the time
Harder, harder all the time
I need your lips close to mine...
