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 it coming 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 apart I 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, I will get it right 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 way You'd think that I could see The way you're treatin' me Won't ever change I 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, I will get it right If I could just hold on If I could just be strong My heart would see it's wrong Lovin you, lovin you I 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, I will get it right 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, I will get it right
