Can't Depend On Love

I spent most of my life outside, in the driving rain I was only trying to get by with some of life's amenities Well, nothing'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 driving rain I was in some one-horse town just waiting for a plane To take me back now where's that at, I paid the price Well, ain't that nice, knowing 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 --- Can't Depend on Love - Gordon Lightfoot
