Raised up by some folks I never got to know
They offered me a thing called love I took mine to go
I guess they always knew I'd leave I was a mistake

And it don't take long to find out love's not hard to take
Love's not hard to take if you can take it
Be easy with love and don't try to take it too far
And don't take love so far you can't return it
Just know what you can take and who you are

I took her love I guess for granted she took mine for what it was worth
She soon found out that thought I had was worthless
But sometimes heaven's not that far from earth
Love's not hard to take...
