Lyrics
I hope you know that love is always hard
Expressing the difficulty inherent in love.
You knocked me down and left me in the dark
Refers to being emotionally hurt and abandoned.
Oh baby won't you hold me in your arms
Plea for emotional comfort and intimacy.
Don't let me go and don't let me starve
Fear of abandonment and desire for emotional support.
I hope you know that love is always hard
Reiteration of the challenging nature of love.
I hope you know that love is always hard
-I hope you know that love is always hard
-You knocked me down and left me with them scars
Highlighting emotional wounds and scars from the past.
Now you're gonna catch me with them bars
Suggests consequences for the person responsible.
Xanny for the healing of my heart

You were on some games you had your part
Acknowledging the role played by the other person in causing pain.
Oh girl you were playing from the start
Accusing the person of playing games and being insincere.
Now you're gonna catch me with them bars
Continuation of consequences for the other person.
Xanny for the healing of my heart
