If it ain't one thing
I tell you it's always another
I wonder why
I started treating you like a step-brother
Love is hard to explain
I know my loss is someone else's gain
Sometime's love is like a bitter pill
But we just have to take it like it is
Sometimes life is the sweetest thing
and sometimes it's just naked pain
Oh, it's so hard to explain
I know my loss is someone else's gain
My troubles started when I found you
But that's when I (wrapped?) my world around you
And now my living ain't so easy
I thought that's what a woman was supposed to do
You see, it's so hard to explain
I know my loss is someone else's gain
I went to see my doctor
'Cause I thought I had a hole in my heart
but he said "Girl, you're just wasting my time
Because some man messed up,
went and messed up your mind"
It's so hard to explain
I know my loss is someone else's gain
Oh, love it's so hard to explain
It'll make you forget your name
It'll turn you upside down
It'll make you wish that you'd never been found

| daedalus (Over your hill) | Posted: May 08, 2012 - 23:21 Sadly I find the fluent, languid guitar deserves a more interesting and inspiring voice.

Automatic 1 for all songs from them.So thrilled to be back to the "completely disagree with sirdroseph" camp. Been agreeing up with you too much. She is a very effecting and soulful singer. Don't get your complaint. |
