Hard Man to Love

A phone call in the middle of the night, it never came She's been walking on pins and needles waiting for the phone to ring To put her mind at ease The Suns' coming up and I'm coming in With another "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" I can't understand why she never ran When anybody in their right mind would Yeah, I'm a hard man to love But thank God she does Keep holding on, being strong When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough Soft as silk she stands By her barbed wire man She's never given up I'm a hard man to love There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table, barely standing up From where I kicked it once It ain't pretty enough to make up for me messin' up the only love a man could ever need She shines forgiveness, from her patient eyes I don't see what they see in me Yeah, I'm a hard man to love But thank God she does Keep holding on, being strong When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough Soft as silk she stands By her barbed wire man She's never given up I'm a hard man to love But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried so hard to love This hard man to love But thank God she does Keep holding on, being strong When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough Soft as silk she stands By her barbed wire man She's never given up I'm a hard man to love No, she's never given up On this hard man to love
