Can`t Depend On Love — текст песни (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
