Love you right

You say we're all the same

I think I'm different

You know I'm tryin' to change

'Cause I know I'm not innocent

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-whoa, my, my

And I know that I can't survive

Without sheddin' a little pride

But to start, could you recognize

It's hard to love you right

It's hard to love you right

I would take off the chain

But you wouldn't stop the rain

And now it's comin' down

Floodin' out this whole house

And I know that I can't survive

Without sheddin' a little pride

But to start, could you recognize

It's hard to love you right

It's hard to love you right

Tryin' to get out

Tryin' to get even

Tryin' to get up off my knees

You piss on the wall

It's nothin' at all

But baby, you know that I'll still forgive you

Had to get out, but you want a reason

Pullin' the curtain down off the ceilin'

I'm gettin' you hard

In the back of the car

But baby, you know that I'll still be leavin'

Tomorrow

And I don't want to take you down

But how could I come around, baby

When you speak like I'm the one

Who was out of line for what I've done

And after all the times that I tried

Just to always come back denied

So I guess I'll never find

The strength to love you right

I will never love you right
