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 nothin but pain
heartache's your middle name
but seems i never see it comin'
i 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
some day 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 some day
you'll settle down and say
give me all the love i need baby
time and time i found
you always let me down
always ends the same
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
some day 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
loving you
loving you

la da da

here we go

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
some day 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
you're the hardest lesson
some day baby
i will get it right

why do i

why do i
