Making It Hard
Mary J. Blige

I want her to feel it in her chest
I want her to feel it in her soul
I want her to lose control
Mary, talk to 'em

I
Yeah
I
You takin' a part of me
That I cannot set free
See me lettin' go
No this ain't the time
I got too much livin' to do
And I can't lose it over you
So give me the flow
I'll get my swagger goin'
I'll say this is the year for me

You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you

Damn you been up and down the whole way
I know I make it hard to love me
But trust me
I could take you to places
That you ain't never been
Put you in purple labels
And in Vera Wang
Get your name engraved
On a wedding ring on everything
I'ma love you better
More than I ever did
Cause baby girl listen
Since you been here with me
Can't even lie
I see the rider in ya ambition
Providin' me with the fire
When you wet and drippin'
Mommy if you see it different
Go 'head and get it
And I ain't sayin' if you leave me
It'd be better
But me and you together
Honey we could do whatever
Let's do it
I made it hard
I admit it it's true
I need to hear somethin'
I'm listenin' boo

So make sure I'm heard and things improve
I'm prepared to take it there for you
Your lovin' keeps me lovin'
Saying no purpose constant chest pain
It's amazin'
But it ain't enough
Friends keep askin'
I'm staying around
For what
Who sheds this many tears
Remind of where am I as to what it is
Oh oh oh

I know I'm hard to love
Let's rock

You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you

Lemme talk to you one more time girl
You always sayin' that I don't want you to hurt
You always complainin'
But I was makin' it worse
Besides all the games that I's kickin' at first
It's time to explain
My mind's been in reverse
But now I think back
When nobody cared
And you was there
Just to roll by your man
And came back
Even know what I did
I realize and I'm aware
I know what it is
Put that on everything
Girl you my everything
I don't know where I'd breathe
Cause you the air I be
If lovin' is wrong
Who could be right
I wouldn't know what to do
Without you in my life
You're more to me than the world I pray
The more nights for your heart to ache
Right in the middle of the dawn of day
I think of all the pain I caused
And throw it away and say
I need you in my life
Can you feel it in your soul

You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you

I know it's hard to love me
That don't mean I don't love you
Hey rich
I love the way you got Harlem singin'
Mary take us home

You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you
You makin' it so damn hard
For me to love you

She the queen of hip-hop soul

Yeah you are
