I don't want you to see this
I don't want you to see this
Step into the parlor
We'll laugh about the weather
How do you hide the earth from the sun
Why pretend when it's already done
I'd like to sweep myself under the rug
But you always find me out
Being loved is a hard thing to take
It's a hard thing to take
Being loved is a hard thing to take
I will try, I will try
I would like to show you
Something of my own two hands
I want to deserve it
I want to have earned this
Where is the sparrow in all the skies
That gained by merit its place in life
You are persistent and I wonder why
And how do I let you in
Cause' being loved is a hard thing to take
It's a hard thing to take
Being loved is a hard thing to take
I will try, I will try
We are born unclothed
As we came, we will go
From the first, we are known
We are known
It's a hard thing to take
Being loved is a hard thing to take
It's a hard thing to take
Being loved is a hard thing to take
I will try, I will try
