[Verse 1]
I trust nobody anymore
It's become quite a problem
They tell me things
And I don't believe them
I'm an honest person
And I'm here hoping
That others are as honest as I am

[Chorus]
Times can get hard
Days can get shorter
I get lonelier
And nights get longer
And I've tried counting sheep
In fact I've counted a whole bunch
But it never seems to help
Never seems to help me sleep that much
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I've a hammer in hand
Ready to knock down the walls I've built
Wish I'd never got hurt
Then I wouldn't have to learn
How to trust people again
And let them in
[Chorus]
Times can get hard
Days can get shorter
I get lonelier
And nights get longer
And I've tried counting sheep
In fact I've counted a whole bunch
But it never seems to help
Never seems to help me sleep that much
Ooh

[Bridge]
I just know how people can be
I wish I had the power
To read people's minds
Or go back in time
And learn to read the signs
And learn to read the signs
When someone doesn't want me
When someone doesn't want me
When someone doesn't want me
When someone doesn't want me

[Chorus]
Times can get hard
Days can get shorter
I get lonelier
And nights get longer
And I've tried counting sheep
In fact I've counted a whole bunch
But it never seems to help
Never seems to help me sleep that much
Ooh
[Chorus]
Times can get hard
Days can get shorter
I get lonelier
And nights get longer
And I've tried counting sheep
In fact I've counted a whole bunch
But it never seems to help
Never seems to help me sleep that much
Ooh
