The speech of flowers excels the flowers of speech 
But what's often in your heart, is the hardest thing to reach 
And life is one long mystery, my friend 
So live on, live on, the answer's at the end 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love 
It's the ones that you love we think so little of 
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need 
It's the ones that you need we think so little of 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love 
It's the ones that you love we think so little of 
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need 
It's the ones that you need we think so little of 

Em                              A                      Em   A 
Oh, we think so little of the ones that we love, sometimes 
            Em 
Isn't it a pity how we hurt 
     A 
The ones that we love the most of all 
Em                                A 
   The ones we shouldn't hurt at all

You know my faults, now let the foibles pass 
'Cause life is one long enigma, my friend 
Live on, live on, the answer's at the end 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love 
It's the ones that you love we think so little of 
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need 
It's the ones that you need we think so little of 

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love 
It's the ones that you love we think so little of 
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need 
It's the ones that you need we think so little of 

The ones that we love 
We hurt the most of all, sometimes 
And isn't it a pity how 
We hurt the ones that we love (fade)
