lyrics

Music and lyrics by Cruz Contreras

And the first time that I saw your smile
I knew in a moment that I’d walk any mile
And I never, no, no, no, how could I have known
That your love would be waiting at the end of a never ending road

You give me such a hard, hard time
Never felt such cold inside
Tell me, where is my pride
You know it ain’t right
No, no, no it ain’t right

And the next time that I touched your skin
I knew that good love of ours, oh, it would never end
And I never, no, no, no how could I have known
That your love like a flower would be wilting, got me feelin oh so low

You give me such a hard, hard time
Never felt such cold inside
Tell me, where is my pride
You know it ain’t right
No, no, no, no it ain’t right

And the last time that I saw your eyes
They say there’s nothing to do nothing to say, don’t even try

Oh, but I should have known
Oh, no, no I should have known
Love like yours, slamming doors
Gonna leave a woman out in the cold

You give me such a hard, hard time
Never felt such cold inside
Tell me, where is my pride
You know it ain’t right
No, no, no, no it ain’t right

You know it ain’t right
No, no, no, no it ain’t right
