Hard Love

Walter Egan

When I laid eyes on you, I was already persuaded
Just like I knew who you were, like we'd already made it
You were the light in my eyes and the words to my songs
Guess I learned pretty fast first impressions can sometimes be real wrong

Oh, hard love
That's what I get from you, plenty of
Oh, hard love
You make it so hard on me, hard love

Like a moth by a flame I was so easily swayed
I fell so eagerly into the game that you played
I was just an excuse for your idle amusement
And I took the abuse to my utter confusement
