Love Don’t Have To Be So Hard

We went to bed, last night again, angry;
It seems like lately, we been doin' that more an' more
I woke up still mad an' it scared me
When I couldn't remember what we were fightin' for
So here's some coffee with the cream an' sugar like you like it, baby
From a man with his heart in his hand an' just one wish:
I know life ain't s'posed to be easy, baby, but maybe
We can make it easier than this

If I quit pushin' an' you quit pullin'
An' we stop always turnin' nothin' into somethin'
If we quit sayin' things that always leave a mark
Baby, love don't have to be so hard

Now I know sometimes, my eyes'll look right through you
An' they make you feel like you ain't even there
When you're mad, there ain't nobody better
At makin' me feel like you just don't care
So here's some coffee with the cream an' sugar like you like it, baby
From a man who wants the way it was to be the way it is
An' I know it ain't gonna be easy, baby, but maybe
We can make it easier than this

If I quit pushin' an' you quit pullin'
An' we stop always turnin' nothin' into somethin'
If we quit sayin' things that always leave a mark
Baby, love don't have to be so hard, no

If I quit pushin' an' you quit pullin'
An' we stop always turnin' nothin' into somethin'
If we quit sayin' things that always leave us scarred
Baby, love don't have to be;
Love don't have to be;
Love don't have to be so hard
It don't have to be so hard
