can't depend on love

i spent most of my life outside in the drivin' rain

i was only trying to get my with some of life's amenities

well nothin's free

i got more than i bargained for

now it's plain to see

i can't depend on love to defend me

it took most of my time to do what never was done

i was on the outside of an inside kind of love that now is gone

come right or wrong

it was laid to rest that way

i hate to be unkind

pretending is for strangers who don't know you

i spent most of my life outside in the drivin' rain

i was in some one-horse town just waitin' for a plane to take me back

now where's that at

i paid the price

well ain't that nice

knowin' i'm so free

i can't depend on love to defend me

i got more than i bargained for

now it's plain to see

i can't depend on love to defend me
