Lyrics
The Hard Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ain't no short way up the mountain
Ain't no easy way to cross that river
When it's draggin' you under
Ain't no sure thing you can count on
Break down these walls
I'll beg, I'll crawl
I'd risk it all to get to you
I fall in love the hard way
I fall in love the hard way
Straight to your heart
The hard way
I got nothing left to lose
But I got everything to prove
To prove my love for you
I know just what I've gotta do
And I'll walk the wire
Above the fire
My one desire's to get to you
Ain't nothing worth havin'
If it comes too easy
'Cause if it comes too easy
You might lose that love someday
The hard way
Break down these walls
I'll beg, I'll crawl
I'd risk it all to get to you
I fall in love the hard way
