Raised up by some folks I never got to know

They offered me a thing called love I took mine to go

I guess they always knew I'd leave I was a mistake

And it don't take long to find out love's not hard to take

Love's not hard to take if you can take it

Be easy with love and don't try to take it too far

And don't take love so far you can't return it

Just know what you can take and who you are

[ dobro ]

I took her love I guess for granted she took mine for what it was worth

She soon found out that thought I had was worthless

But sometimes heaven's not that far from earth

Love's not hard to take...
