"The Difficult Kind" lyrics
Danielle Ponder, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad Lyrics
(from "Reasonable Doubt" soundtrack)
I think I was wrong
I think you were right
That all my angry words
Will keep me up at night
And through the old screen door
I still hear you say
"Oh honey, won't you stop
Treatin' me that way?"
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
'Cause, babe, I've changed
Tell it to me slow
Tell me with your eyes
If anyone should know
How to let it slide
I swear I can see you
Comin' up the drive
And there ain't nothing like regret
To remind you you're alive
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
'Cause, babe, I've changed
I crossed the canyon a thousand times
I never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry (Ooh, ooh)
Oh, ball-breaking moon and ridiculing stars
Well, the older I get, the closer you are
Don't you got somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here, makin' a fool of me?
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me
Oh, if you could only see
What love has made of me
But I'll forever be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see
No, you won't see the good in me
But, babe, I've changed
'Cause, baby, I've changed
I think you were right
That all my angry words
Will keep me up at night
And through the old screen door
I still hear you say
"Oh honey, won't you stop
Treatin' me that way?"
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
'Cause, babe, I've changed
Tell it to me slow
Tell me with your eyes
If anyone should know
How to let it slide
I swear I can see you
Comin' up the drive
And there ain't nothing like regret
To remind you you're alive
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
'Cause, babe, I've changed
I crossed the canyon a thousand times
I never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry (Ooh, ooh)
Oh, ball-breaking moon and ridiculing stars
Well, the older I get, the closer you are
Don't you got somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here, makin' a fool of me?
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me
Oh, if you could only see
What love has made of me
But I'll forever be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see
No, you won't see the good in me
But, babe, I've changed
'Cause, baby, I've changed
