What?
It’s been a hard knock love
Doin’ time for you, I’m breaking under pressure, while you turn your screws
You won’t break me like you’ve done before
Who am I kiddin’? Hey break me I’m yours
You always get the best of me
It’s just a hard knock love
But I can do my time,
Survived solitary for the perfect crime
Come on and break me like you’ve done before
Don’t hesitate come on break me I’m yours
I’m such a glutton for your punishment again
Apply your pressure watch me break before I bend
Beat to submission but I still can’t get enough
I’m such a sucker for your tough love
You always get the best of me, that’s just the way I wanna be
It’s been a hard knock love, it’s just a hard knock love
