Written by Leah Harris
I could light candles ‘round my room
And come up with a million things that I’d like to do
Have an evening all to myself
Play on my piano, maybe listen to jazz
Normally that would be fine
If I didn’t have you, baby, on my damn mind
‘Cause you said you’d call and I believed that you would
So tell me would it really be so hard
To treat me good
I treat my baby like gold
Why, why, why, why, why, why’s he got to be so cold
I do everything that a good woman should
So tell me would it really be so hard
To treat me good
I don’t think I’m really that bad
I give you so much space and hardly ever get mad
I can make you laugh when you’re blue, you know it’s true boy
And I hug you and I kiss you, and I take care of you
So I try not to internalize your actions
But after so long I see myself through your eyes
You said you’d call and I believed that you would
So tell me would it really be so hard
To treat me good
Chorus
I laugh at your jokes although they’re always so bad
‘Cause I cannot bear the thought of you feeling sad
But you’d break my heart at just the blink of an eye
So I’ve made my last sacrifice (2x)
Chorus
Watch here
