She's A Piece Of Work - John Wesley Harding

Some things look hard and then they’re not

Like getting on a tightrope and falling off

But there’s never been anything harder than loving her

She’s so demanding, so intense

Her expectation of the ordinary is so immense

Better take her at her word

It would be easier to give up than live up to her

Such ludicrous perfection isn’t found on earth

And for anyone who said that love was easy

I said, for anyone who said that love was easy

She’s a piece of work

She’s up and down, she’s round the wheel

She’s governed absolutely by the way she feels

That’s a lethal combination in a small house when it rains

We sit around, then it pours

Me, I’m so addicted to the great indoors

And she wants to shine again

She’s the only person I have ever met

Who makes me feel I haven’t tried hard yet

And for anyone who said that love was easy

I said, for anyone who said that love was easy

She’s a piece of work

And for anyone who said that love was easy

For anyone who said that love was easy

She’s a piece of work
