I know how much you worry when I stay out late at night   But you always smile and kiss me just like everything's all right   With cruel words I've made you cry and hurt you constantly   And I know it's not been easy loving me   Cause I've shamed you and I've blamed you but you never let it change you   And through it all you've never once been untrue   And I'm glad you're my lady and thanks for staying with me   Cause I know it's not been easy loving me   [ steel ]   Through all your lonely heartaches you love me just the same   And looking back I see how wrong I was and I'm ashamed   But like an angel you forgave a man too blind to see   And I know it's not been easy loving me yes I know it's not been easy loving me
