well you smell real sweet
and kiss real soft
but you put on that face
when our clothes come off
now tell me
why you gotta make it to hard
i put food on your plate
when you point to your mouth
but you take one bite
and you spit it all out
now tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
oh come on tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
oh you look good in the pouring rain
but i never told you that
to me you look much better lying on your back
i'm just stating facts
some people do what they must
i just do what i can
but you don't do a thing when i ask for your hand
now tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
and you fell real ill
so i promised you health
but once you got well
you just kept to yourself
now tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
come on tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
well you looked good in that long black dress
but i kept it to myself
to me you look much better
wearing just your smile and little else
wearing just your smile and baby nothing else
well i said it would fall
if you call i will come
but i don't have no choice
we don't choose who we love
now tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
oh come on tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
oh come on tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
oh come on tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
oh come on tell me
why you gotta make it so hard
