The phone call in the middle of the night, it never came G    She's been walkin' on pins and needles waitin' for the phone to ring   To put her mind at ease   The suns' comin' up and I'm comin' in   With another "I'm sorry, It won't happen again"   I can't understand why she never ran   When anybody in their right mind would      Yeah I'm a hard man to love   But thank God she does   Keep holdin' on, bein' strong   When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough   Soft as silk she stands   By her barbed wire man   She's never given up   I'm A hard man to love      There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough   Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from where I kicked it once.   It ain't pretty enough to make up for me messin' up the only love a man could ever need   She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes   I don't see what they see in me      Yeah I'm a hard man to love   But thank God she does   Keep holdin' on, bein' strong   When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough   Soft as silk she stands   By her barbed wire man   She's never given up   I'm A hard man to love      But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me    In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried so hard to love      This hard man to love   But thank God she does   Keep holdin' on, bein' strong   When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough   Soft as silk she stands   By her barbed wire man   She's never given up   I'm A hard man to love      No she's never given up   On this hard man to love
