Hard to Love

Nothing good comes from nothing baby
Nothing good comes for free
That's how it goes for this whole wide world
And that's how it goes for loving me

Don't expect sunshine and roses baby
Without some burning and some thorns
Stay with me and your bound to see
All the places where my heart's been torn

(chorus)
Cause I'm hard to love
I'm hard to love
Hard to love

Put your arms around me baby
And I might feel like a stone
Put your heart up next to mine
And you might find yourself alone

Build you dreams around me baby
And I"ll tear them down one by one
I'll scatter all the pretty pieces
And I won't blame you when you run

(chorus)

I got a whole lotta good going on
Deep down in this heart of mine
It's gonna take a whole lotta kindness
From someone with a whole lotta time
'Cause I'm rough 'round the clock,baby
Bad news from sun to sun
Even my Mama will testify that I've been
Tough from day number one

'Cause I've been shook up
I've been shot down
If I'm gunshy
You can see why I might be
Hard to love
Hard to love
Hard to love

Here's your chance to exit baby
Cut it loose get yourself free
If I were you I'd be a fool
To stick around with a man like me

I'll put you through the wringer baby
Waste all of you precious time
I'm gonna leave you with this warning
That I'm bound to leave you crying

(chorus)
