Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Excuse me if, I seem to hide my heart
Try to understand if I keep up my guard
It's that I been through some changes before
And I don't won't to suffer no more
I don't know ask for much
Just a little bit of lovin' every now and then
A hug and kiss
I need you to be my friend
[Verse 2]
You see I've read about the pleasures of love
And I don't know what they're speaking of
[Verse 3]
'Cause love hasn't been easy on me
It has lifted me up and let me down and tossed me all around
Oh, love hasn't been easy on me
But maybe love's not meant for me
No, no, no, no
[Verse 4]
What can I say, the need for love has me in a bind
And it won't go away, I'm about to lose my mind
You see this love's got me pacing the floor (I was going crazy)
And I can't hide this feeling no more, no more, no more
[Verse 5]
'Cause love hasn't been easy on me
It has lifted me up and let me down and tossed me all around
Oh, love hasn't been easy on me
Maybe love's not meant for me
No, no, no, no, no
It's took me through changes
My world's the best for me
I'm going crazy
So blind that I could not see
Love has used me
To be used do me right what ever
I stood beside me
But I finally had enough
[Verse 6]
'Cause love hasn't been easy on me
It has lifted me up and let me down and tossed me all around
Oh, love hasn't been easy on me
But maybe love's not meant for me
Love hasn't been easy on me (I know, I know)
Love hasn't been easy on me
Love hasn't been easy on me (And I wanna tell everybody about love)
Love hasn't been easy on me
But maybe, maybe, maybe love's not meant for me
