lyrics

The Hardest Part Is A-Walkin' Out The Door #2

It gives me pause to think
Of even thinkin' about it
Could I do better than to love you?
Baby, I doubt it
Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here
I don't know what I came here for
But the hardest part is a-walkin' out the door

There are tears to be wept
I won't weep them
The hardest part, the hardest part
Is a-walkin' out the door
Many nights I have laid
Down, out on your floor
And the hardest part is a-walkin' out the door

Babe, you love so differently
Than any love I ever had
Your love ain't free. It might cost me;
And it will.
You're gonna take me for everything,
All I've got, and more.
And the hardest part is a-walkin' out the door

You prosecute my heart, put it on trial
And the hardest part, the hardest part
Is a-walkin' out the door.
I had plans to go to faraway lands
'Til you asked me to stay a while
And the hardest part is a-walkin' out the door.

I just about laugh at myself
To think about it now.
Freedom, like a joke,
It makes you think.
It's just so ironic!
I've prayed to meet someone like you before.
The hardest part is a-walkin' out the door.

Home free, I was home free
'Til you caught me
And the hardest part, the hardest part
Is a-walkin' out the door
Your love, like madness,
Made me feel rich when I was poor.
Now the hardest part is a-walkin' out the door.
