Can't Depend on Love - Gordon Lightfoot

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
