They tell me to stay away
They say I'm better off without you, baby
You've caused me nothing 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' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson, oh baby, of my life
Livin' and lovin' the hard way
Someday, I will get it right
