"Doin' It The Hard Way" lyrics

One, two, three, four

Hollywood nights, doin' alright
Lord knows I'm lonely
Tennessee days, lost in a haze
You're my one and only

We don't live together
We can't stay apart
We're caught between love and hate
Affairs of the heart

Blisterin' love, can't get enough
When we're there together
But after the heat sours the sweet
Here comes stormy weather

We must love the hardship
What more can I say?
'Cause we just go on and on
Doin' it the hard way

Out on the street, the strangers you meet
They tell you that I'm lyin'
That this kind of love just can't be enough
But you're as bad as I am

You're out in Albuquerque
I'm down in F-L-A
And we just go on and on
Doin' it the hard way

We must love the hardship
What more can I say?
'Cause we just go on and on
Doin' it the hard way

We just go on and on
Doin' it the hard way
