Lyrics The Hard Way - IV JAY

The Hard Way

Writer:
Thought what I wanted
Was what I needed (You)
All these reflections
Showing me something different
But when I’m down
Who’s gonna love me?
Who’s gonna leave me?
Who’s gonna lift me up?
When I need a smile for a second
To change my direction
The day gets better with ya
I don’t wanna be… be a burden
I’m still learning
You can’t tell me nothing
Ooh, even if I fall down on my face
You can’t tell me nothing
'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way, hard way (Hard way)
Oh, I’m thankful for my blessings
And I’m grateful for my lessons
Please, don’t worry 'bout me, baby
You can’t save me
Can’t tell me nothing
'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way, hard way
Hard to find the old me
When I’m in this new phase
All these opinions starting to bring me down
All of these diamonds starting to weigh me down
I thought the money was a solution
Could have all the money in the world
And still have problems
Owh-ooh
But when I’m down
Who’s gonna love me?
Who’s gonna leave me?
Who’s gonna lift me up?
When I need a smile for a second
To change my direction
The day gets better with ya
I don’t wanna be… be a burden (Be a burden)
I’m still learning
You can’t tell me nothing (Nothing)
Ooh, even if I fall down on my face
You can’t tell me nothing (Nothing)
'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way, hard way
Oh, I’m thankful for my blessings
And I’m grateful for my lessons
Please don’t worry 'bout me, baby
You can’t save me
Can’t tell me nothing
'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way, hard way
