I know how much you worry when I stay out late at night

But you always smile and kiss me just like everything's all right

With cruel words I've made you cry and hurt you constantly

And I know it's not been easy loving me

Cause I've shamed you and I've blamed you but you never let it change you

And through it all you've never once been untrue

And I'm glad you're my lady and thanks for staying with me

Cause I know it's not been easy loving me

[ steel ]

Through all your lonely heartaches you love me just the same

And looking back I see how wrong I was and I'm ashamed

But like an angel you forgave a man too blind to see

And I know it's not been easy loving me yes I know it's not been easy loving me
