You Dont Make It Easy Babe

Here I am standing at your window again
Waiting for you to say, 'Go away or come in'
Im your locked doors worst knocker
Im your curtains best friend
Im trying hard to love you — you dont make it easy, babe
Im trying hard to love you — Im looking for an easy way
Your friends ask about me you say I can be found
With cheap romance novels with their spines battered down
'Oh the heart has no bones,' you say, 'so it wont break'
But the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes
Im trying hard to love you — you dont make it easy, babe
Im trying hard to love you — Im looking for an easy way
The ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots
And though theyre your hair that dont mean Im not caught
I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor
But that new thing youve got, Ive got no clue what its for
Im trying hard to love you — you dont make it easy, babe
Im trying hard to love you — Im looking for an easy way
With fortunes 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 thats so easily done
Im trying hard to love you — you dont make it easy, babe
Im trying hard to love you — Im looking for an easy way
Im trying hard to love you — you dont make it easy, babe
Im trying hard tolove you — theres gotta be an easy way
