The Hard Way

I hear every word they say
They tell me to stay away
They say I'm better off without you, baby
You've caused me nothin' but pain
Heartache's your middle name
But seems I never, see us, comin'
I'll just admit it, baby
You really drive me crazy
Let go of my heart
'Cause every time you're near me
I can't think clearly
Defenses fall apartI keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday, baby
(Someday)
I will get it right
(Ohh, ooo)
Ohh
(Ohh, ooo)
(Ohh, ooo)I never will understand
Why I let you think you can?
Treat me any way you please, baby
I guess I hope someday
You'll settle down and say
Give me all the love I need, baby
Time and time I've found
You always let me down
Always ends the same
Same way
(Same way)
You'd think that I could see
The way you're treatin' me
Won't ever changeI keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday, baby
(Someday)
I will get it rightIf I could just hold on
(Just hold on)
If I could just be strong
(Just be strong)
My heart would see it's wrong
Lovin' you
(Lovin' you)
Lovin' you
Hey, hey, hey
Laa, laa, laa
Hey
Here we goI keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday, baby
(Someday)
I will get it rightLivin' and lovin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, ohh baby, of my life
Livin' and lovin' the hard way
Someday
(Someday)
I will, yea, get it rightLivin' and lovin' the hard way
(Oh, I love you hard way)
Why do I?
Why do I?
Hey, yea, hey, hey
