I'm missing you both day and night
And when you're gone, I stay all uptight
I try to be strong as the days go by
But these tears won't stay out of my eyes

'Cause it's hard to get along
Hard to get along
Hard to get along without you, baby
It's hard to get along
Hard to get along
Hard to get along without you, baby

Don't get me wrong
I really understand
And when you're gone
You're still gonna be my man, yeah
Now please don't forget
That I have desire
And every now and then
I need you here to start my fire

It's hard to get along
Hard to get along
Hard to get along without you, baby
It's hard to get along
Hard to get along
Hard to get along without you, baby
Baby
Since you've been gone
I'm so alone
Oh, baby
Why think of me
Now, baby, please

Oh, oh...

Don't get me wrong
I really understand
'Cause when you're gone
You're still gonna be my man, yeah
But please don't forget
That I have desire
And I need you here to start my fire

It's hard to get along
Hard to get along
Hard to get along without you, baby
It's hard to get along
Hard to get along
So hard to get along without you, baby

It's hard to get along
It's hard to get along
It's hard to get along without you, baby
It's hard to get along
It's hard to get along
So hard to get along without you, baby...
