alright

if you look into my eyes
ooh-ooh-ooh
there's no tellin' what you'll find
'cuz, baby
I've been thinkin' and
I've been drinkin'
and I'm just about to
lose my mind

I always wonder, baby
ooh-ooh
why I keep on tryin'
'cuz you just bring on the worry in
such a hurry
and lord it feels like I'm dyin'

it's never been easy from the start
but your sweet love just can't be beat
I'm never pleased inside my heart
oh, baby
you're so hard on me mama

mmm... you're bittersweet

yeah...

I can't blame you, baby
ooh-ooh
for the way I feel
because I knew the rules, baby
love's for fools, maybe but
I ain't gonna beg or steal

it's never been easy from the start
but your sweet love just can't be beat
I'm never pleased inside my heart
oh, baby
you're so hard on me, mama

mmm... you're bittersweet

now listen!

I don't like the way you play
I don't like the way you deal your cards
ooh, I die a little every day, yeah
you're so hard on me, mama
you're so hard
you're so hard
you're so hard on me

yeah, baby, you're so bittersweet... ow!

ooh, baby

you keep your heart under lock and key
ooh-ooh, and it's such a low-down shame
the way you got me livin' and got me givin'
all of my love in vain

oh, it's never been easy from the start
oh, but your sweet love just can't be beat
oh, I'm never pleased inside my heart
oh, baby
you're so hard on me mama

uhh... whoo!

I'm never pleased inside my heart
(ooh-ooh, it's so hard, baby)
I'm never pleased inside my heart
(ooh-ooh, it's so hard, baby)
I'm never pleased inside my heart
(ooh-ooh, it's so hard, baby)

oh, you're so hard on me mama

yeah

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
