David Odlum - You Don't Make it Easy Babe lyrics

[Verse 1] Here I am, standing at your window again Waiting for you to say go away or come in I'm your locked door's worst knocker I'm your curtain's best friend [Chorus] I'm trying hard to love you You don't make it easy, babe I'm trying hard to love you I'm looking for an easy way [Verse 2] Your friends ask about me, you say I can be found With the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down Oh, the heart has no bones, you say so it won't break But the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes [Chorus] [Verse 3] The ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots Though they're your hair, that don't mean I'm not caught I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor But that new thing you've got, I've got no clue what it's for [Chorus] [Verse 4] Fortune's rocks millstones you hang round my throat And a brick for my window weighted down with a note I hope you find someone just as hard as you come In this hard world, sadly, that's so easily done [Chorus] I'm trying hard to love you You don't make it easy, babe I'm trying hard to love you There's gotta be an easy way
