Hard Love

Sometimes you win And sometimes you lose in love Either way, I end up with the blues What matters most in the end, oh, they all say It all comes down to how you play the game They say all is fair in love and war But I don't know what we were fighting for Maybe these rules Only apply to fools And those who are keeping the score I found it easy Simple to do The things we were dreaming of Me loving you You said it's harder Than it should be Well maybe it's just too hard for you to love me So why is it harder than it should be? Baby, maybe you just can't love me 'Cause I found it easy Simple to do The things we were dreaming of And me loving you And you said it's harder Than it should be Well, I think it's just too hard for you to love me What matters most in the end, they all say It all comes down to how you play that game It's all about how, how you play

I have been in trouble Day after day Like a nasty toddler Face down in the gutter Time after time Night after another Yes I have been in shit so deep I nearly drowned But I am a survivor Nothing ever broke me Nothing held me down' Cause baby I'm a fighter I'll stand up for freedom To be what I am I don't care if no one understands I'll stand up for freedom Inside of my heart And let nobody change it Like a die hard, like a die hard I'll never give up, I'm a die hard I have been mistreated Because of my looks As far as I remember I've taken a few beatings I've got my ass kicked But I returned a favour Nobody could stop me Or hold me down Yes I never surrendered Sure they got me bleeding Once in a week But they only made me stronger I'll stand up for freedom To be what I am I don't care if no one understands I'll stand up for freedom Inside of my heart And let nobody change it Like a die hard, just like a die hard Like a die hard, just like a die hard I'll never give up, just like a die hard I'm a die hard It was like a fucking nightmare out there When I was a kid every night every week They tried they tried, but there ain't nobody that can Bring me down, because it's only love can break me

So you took a chance with me cause you heard I'm cool So let me show you why what you heard is true And you're supposed to feel like it's all for you And this is what we 'bout to do I dance around my house to your favorite song It's electrifying when you got my t-shirt on And I wanna touch but I just stay cool And this is what we 'bout to do It don't take a lot to keep it unpredictable As long as you let me love your heart and touch your soul And when you give it up to me, you give your all Cause all that I give in return is... Cold, hard, hard love Cold, hard, hard love Put your records on, hot sex all up in the air Waking up my fingers all up in your hair Those eyes you do make my world blue And what we 'bout to do is... Now take hold of me baby I feel it too Never been this far from safe but I won't hold you Cause there's nothing left to hold true It don't take a lot to keep it unpredictable As long as you let me love your heart and touch your soul And when you give it up to me, you give your all Cause all that I give in return is... Cold, hard, hard love Cold, hard, hard love (Cold, cold, cold, cold) Uh, what if I told you I ain't know love And all the chicks I'm with I don't love Shit still getting harder for me when I'm trying to find it alone But I know I'm supposed to be grown up It might be time a nigga owned up for this shit I once did Games that I once played, shit I once said No one's turning back on me now Don't turn your back on me now I need you more than ever You make me wanna put this TV off the sound And put these covers over us and take it slow forever We go together, you so forever Put the sunny in the stormy weather I spent forever trying to figure out how I can fit up in your endeavors You know I love you like a bow and arrow Cupid shootin' who he aiming at Who laying the body down where the statement at? When love is lost who gonna show you where to claim it at? You always told me you could show me where to claim it back Cold hard love, cold hard love There's nothing in this world that I... Nothing in this world... That I know, you After our little robbery attempt on the East Side went bad, it was best to lay low. I kicked it at my girl's house that whole night. The plan was to smoke weed and get high, little did we know... that plan was soon to be cut short.
