~*Verse 1*~

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.

~*Chorus 1*~

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.

Ohhh..

~*Verse 2*~

I never will understand.
Why I let you think you can.
Treat me any way you please, baby-hey.
I guess, I hope someday.
You'll settle down and say.
"Give me all the love I need, baby-hey."
Time and time I've found.
You always let me down.
Always ends, the same way (same way).
You'd think that I could see, the way you're treatin' me.
Won't ever change.

~*Chorus 2*~

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.

~*Bridge*~

If I could just hold on (just hold on).
If I could just be strong (just be strong).
My heart would see it's wrong, lovin' you (lovin' you).
Lovin' you.
Hey, hey, hey.
La, la..
Hey!
Here we go...

~*Instrumental*~

Ooo...

~*Chorus 3*~

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, yeah.. get it right.

~*Fade*~

Ohhh..
Ohhhh.. I love you.. harder way..
Why do I, why do I..
Hey, hey, hey...
