"Work So Hard" lyrics

At sixteen we was always falling
Like lightning, hot, fast and frightening

Ooh, we could hardly wait to investigate
The finest feeling
Downstairs in the dark
With our racing hearts
That's when love was real

I never had to work so hard to find love
I never had to work so hard
To be the only one you ever dream of
I never had to work so hard

Someone fire shot down your desire
Now you cry
Love has made you gun-shy

I've heard it all before
You're just making sure
No one will hurt you
What do I have to do
To prove to you
I'm on the level?

I never had to work so hard to find love
I never had to work so hard
To be the only one you ever dream of
I never had to work so hard

Now these days
Riding on the new wave
You're older
Who can say you're wiser?

You traded innocence for experience
Now you're so careful
All you do is hide
Knock it up inside
Till you're so fearful

I never had to work so hard to find love
I never had to work so hard
To be the only one you ever dream of
I never had to work so hard

I never had to work so hard to find love
I never had to work so hard
To be the only one you ever dream of
I never had to work so hard
