lyrics

It’s so hard to be in love with
You, you know it’s true, do what you do
Oh baby it’s so hard to be in love with you

So you wake me in the middle of the night to say
Wish you had a girl who wasn’t so uptight
You say that I’m all wrong
When your buzz has worn off with the morning light, you say
"Babe I’m sorry," then you hold and squeeze me tight
And say you were so wrong

But you don’t do what I need to be true and in love with you
You know it’s true, do what you do
Oh baby it’s so hard to be in love with you

Tell me you’ll make changes happen in your life, you say
That you love me and you want me for your wife
And say, "Baby, I’ll change"
Ask you if it’s true we’re still on for tonight, you say
You’ve got plans and that your schedule’s kinda tight
I say, "No, you won’t change"

For me, I can see a life of misery, being in love with you
You know it’s true, do what you do
Oh baby it’s so hard to be in love with you

No you won’t change for me
I can see that I’ve got to be free from this love with you
You know it’s true, do what you do
Oh baby it’s so hard to be in love with you
You know it’s true, do what you do
Oh baby it’s so hard to be in love like me
Baby, can’t you see my agony over you?
