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
