Oh my pretty boy - Oh my dear one
The love of you has made me so hard to deal with
Oh my pretty boy - Oh my dear one
The love of you has made me so hard to deal with lately
Too hard to leave you
Every night I pray I won't need you
And then I turn to go
Knowing I'll stay 'til you leave me baby
Too hard to leave you
And I am tired in love
And I am hurting of, and I am aging of
All the loves who don't live up to my love
In the heat of night, I believe you
But then I see the light
And know I'll stay 'til you leave me baby
Too hard to leave you
Every night I pray I won't need you
And then I turn to go
Knowing I'll stay 'til you leave me baby
Too hard to leave you
And I am tired in love
And I am hurting of, and I am aging of
All the loves who don't live up to my love
And I am tired in love
And I am hurting of, and I am aging of, aging of
All the loves who don't live up to my love
Oh my pretty boy - Oh my dear one
The love of you has made me so hard to deal with lately
Too hard to leave you
Oh my pretty boy - Oh my dear one
The love of you has made me so hard to deal with lately
Too hard to leave you
And I am tired in love
And I am hurting of, and I am aging of
All the loves who don't live up to my love
Oh my pretty boy - Oh my dear one
The love of you has made me so hard to deal with lately
