Hard to Love [DVD] Lyrics

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

Can’t you see that lonesome ship that sails
That sails from shore to shore
If I was on that lonesome ship
I’d sail away no more

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

Well I wish I was a pretty little bird
I wish I was a pretty little bee
I wish I was so far away
No more you’d see of me

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

The blackest crow that ever flew
Will never turn to white
If you will prove your love to me
I’d turn my day to night

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

Oh Lord
No you’ll never break this heart of mine

We're All in This Together

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

Can’t you see that lonesome ship that sails
That sails from shore to shore
If I was on that lonesome ship
I’d sail away no more

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

Well I wish I was a pretty little bird
I wish I was a pretty little bee
I wish I was so far away
No more you’d see of me

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

The blackest crow that ever flew
Will never turn to white
If you will prove your love to me
I’d turn my day to night

Well, it’s hard to love and not be loved
It’s hard to please your mind
When you’ve broken the heart of many a poor boy
But you’ll never break this heart of mine

Oh Lord
No you’ll never break this heart of mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
