| Here I am standing at your window again | |
| Waiting for you to say, "Go away or come in" | |
| I'm your locked door's worst knocker | |
| I'm your curtain's best friend | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — you don't make it easy, babe | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — I'm looking for an easy way | |
| Your friends ask about me you say I can be found | |
| With cheap romance novels with their spines battered down | |
| "Oh the heart has no bones," you say, "so it won't break" | |
| But the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — you don't make it easy, babe | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — I'm looking for an easy way | |
| The ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots | |
| And though they're your hair that don't mean I'm not caught | |
| I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor | |
| But that new thing you've got, I've got no clue what it's for | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — you don't make it easy, babe | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — I'm looking for an easy way | |
| With fortune's rocks millstones you hang round my throat | |
| And a brick for my window weighted down with a note | |
| I hope you find someone just as hard as you come | |
| In this hard world sadly that's so easily done | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — you don't make it easy, babe | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — I'm looking for an easy way | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — you don't make it easy, babe | |
| I'm trying hard to love you — there's gotta be an easy way |
| Here I am standing at your window again | |
| Waiting for you to say, " Go away or come in" | |
| I' m your locked door' s worst knocker | |
| I' m your curtain' s best friend | |
| I' m trying hard to love you you don' t make it easy, babe | |
