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 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
