John Wesley Harding - She's A Piece Of Work

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
