Can’t depend on love lyrics

Artist  : Gordon lightfoot 
Song : Can’t depend on love
 
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
