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
