Faith Hill
"The Hard Way"

(Keith Brown/Donna Douglas)

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
Heartaches 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
