I don’t want you to see this/I don’t want you to see this/Step into the parlor/We’ll laugh about the weather/How do you hide the earth from the sun/Why pretend when it’s already done/I’d like to sweep myself under the rug/But you always find me out//Being loved is a hard thing to take/It’s a hard thing to take/Being loved is a hard thing to take/I will try, I will try//I would like to show you/something of my own two hands/I want to deserve it/I want to have earned this/Where is the sparrow in all the skies/That gained by merit its place in life/You are persistent and I wonder why/And how do I let you in//Cause’ being loved is a hard thing to take/It’s a hard thing to take/Being loved is a hard thing to take/I will try, I will try//We are born unclothed/As we came, we will go/From the first, we are known/We are known//It’s a hard thing to take/ Being loved is a hard thing to take/It’s a hard thing to take/Being loved is a hard thing to take/I will try, I will try
