The Hard Way - IV Jay

Thought what I wanted

Was what I needed you

All these reflections

Showing me something different

But when I'm down

Who's gonna love me

Who's gonna leave me

Who's gonna lift me up

When I need a smile for a second

To change my direction

The day gets better with ya

I don't wanna be be a burden

I'm still learning

You can't tell me nothing

Ooh even if I fall down on my face

You can't tell me nothing

'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way hard way hard way

Oh I'm thankful for my blessings

And I'm grateful for my lessons

Please don't worry 'bout me baby

You can't save me

Can't tell me nothing

'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way hard way

Hard to find the old me

When I'm in this new phase

All these opinions starting to bring me down

All of these diamonds starting to weigh me down

I thought the money was a solution

Could have all the money in the world

And still have problems

Owh ooh

But when I'm down

Who's gonna love me

Who's gonna leave me

Who's gonna lift me up

When I need a smile for a second

To change my direction

The day gets better with ya

I don't wanna be be a burden be a burden

I'm still learning

You can't tell me nothing nothing

Ooh even if I fall down on my face

You can't tell me nothing nothing

'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way hard way

Oh I'm thankful for my blessings

And I'm grateful for my lessons

Please don't worry 'bout me baby

You can't save me

Can't tell me nothing

'Cause I gotta learn it the hard way hard way

Hard way
