Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
Can’t you see that lonesome ship that sails
That sails from shore to shore
If I was on that lonesome ship
I’d sail away no more
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
Well I wish I was a pretty little bird
I wish I was a pretty little bee
I wish I was so far away
No more you’d see of me
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
The blackest crow that ever flew
Will never turn to white
If you will prove your love to me
I’d turn my day to night
Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine
Oh Lord
No you’ll never break this heart of mine
