"Harden My Heart" lyrics - MARY J. BLIGE

Cryin' on the corner
Waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never
Ever wait again
You gave me your word
But words for you are lies

Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go, ooh
But it's time to let you know

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

All of my life
I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling
That never, ever came
It feels so close
But always disappears

Darlin', in your wildest dreams
You never had a clue
But it's time you got the news

I'm gonna harden my heart (harden your heart)
I'm gonna swallow my tears (swallow your tears)
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
