it's getting harder all the time

can i share this with you?

baby

you know imagination is really funny

sometimes it's very hard to do

it's. impossible

many nights and days

i. i've tried to imagine

what it would be like to love you

i've even tried to imagine

what you would look like

being loved

and i

i. i can't do it

i'm trying to do what a gentleman would do

trying to be patient and tolerant

all the things that a man is supposed to be

but. i just wanted you to know very honestly

that i'm very anxious to be with you

it's getting harder all the time

just to keep myself from wanting you

harder every day

for me to stay away

knowing

girl without your loving

i ain't worth one dime

it's getting harder

harder all the time

all the time

it's getting hard every night

just to keep my hands from touching you

oh darling

what am i to do

and i hear you sigh

i might as well kiss my poor heart goodbye

and start to cry

it's getting harder

harder all the time

all the time

there's no fighting what i feel

oh

god knows

i've tried

tried to hold back my love from you

it's like trying to hold back the tide

it's getting harder

harder

harder all the time

i can't stop needing you

oh

harder every day

for me to find a away

to keep myself from the tenderness

of your lips touching mine

it's getting harder

harder all the time

all the time

i ain't worth a dime

it's getting harder

harder all the time

harder

harder all the time

i need your lips close to mine.
