Gordon Lightfoot - Can't Depend On Love lyrics

I spent most of my life outside in the drivin' rain I was only trying to get my with some of life's amenities Well nothin's free I got more than i bargained for Now it's plain to see I can't depend on love to defend me It took most of my time to do what never was done I was on the outside of an inside kind of love that now is gone Come right or wrong It was laid to rest that way I hate to be unkind Pretending is for strangers who don't know you I spent most of my life outside in the drivin' rain I was in some one-horse town just waitin' for a plane to take me back Now where's that at I paid the price, well ain't that nice Knowin' i'm so free I can't depend on love to defend me I got more than i bargained for Now it's plain to see I can't depend on love to defend me
