[Verse 1]
It's all I can do
To keep that little girl smiling
And keep my faith alive
Takes all I got to hold on to tomorrow

[Chorus]
You want to make it hard
You want to make it hard on me

[Verse 2]
Some other time
I'd be understanding
You were supposed to be
The friend that I needed when I was down and now

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Maybe if I tried, I could turn the other cheek
Maybe, but how big do I have to be

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I need someone
To put their arm around me
Shelter me from all harm
Just as I find something to believe in

[Chorus] [x2]
