So Hard To Stop (Lyrics) 
Loving me is just a little to easy 
Loving me is just a little to easy
 Loving me is just a little to easy 
But damn so hard to stop now
 
Ladies and gentlemen have you seen my girl She’s the one with the smile on her face
 She’s walking around like she owns the town
 Well that’s how she gets down, well that’s how she gets down 
Lord I am petrified I cain’t live this lie
 She's never satisfied I can see it in her eyes Am finding hard to understand 
Why she don’t love this man
 
Loving me is just a little to easy 
Loving me is just a little to easy
 Loving me is just a little to easy But damn so hard to stop now
 She's the one that’s driving me down 
I can’t believe how this love was found 
Am suppose to be happy and free
 Instead am living this frown
 Lord I am petrified I cain’t live this lie
 She's never satisfied I can see it in her eyes 
I give her everything that she want and she needs 
This time I'm let her see
 
Loving me is just a little to easy 
Loving me is just a little to easy
 Loving me is just a little to easy But damn so hard to stop now

 
Lord I am petrified I cain’t live this lie She's never satisfied She's never satisfied I can see it in her eyes She's never satisfied (no, no, no)
 She's never satisfied (no, no, no)
 She's never satisfied (no, no, no)
 She's never satisfied 
Loving me is just a little to easy 
Loving me is just a little to easy
 Loving me is just a little to easy 
But damn so hard to stop now

 
Loving me is just a little to easy 
Loving me is just a little to easy
 Loving me is just a little to easy 
But damn so hard to stop now

Distant From You (Lyrics) Yeah My papa don’t give a damn About what I do how and then He’s on the other side of town Don’t care if am lost or found I’ve been writing him letters And posting them in the wind Hoping one day he will get them To know that I wanna be friends Out of my mind it’s distant Out of my mind it’s different Out of my mind it’s distant Out of my mind it’s different from you He’s got himself a new son So my special days are done I'll remember to be one When all his hope is gone If only I had all the words To say exactly how I feel I’ll be forever on his mind To make this all come real oh Out of my mind it’s distant Out of my mind it’s different yeah Out of my mind it’s distant Out of my mind it’s different from you Out of my mind it’s distant Distant from you, distant from you Out of my mind it’s different Different from you, different from you But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright yeah Out of my mind it’s distant Distant from you, distant from you Said out of my mind it’s different Different from you, different from you It’s distant from you I said it's different from you yeah Said out of my mind it’s different from you But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright But it's alright Said it's alright now
