Hard Pill to Swallow
[Chorus]
Ay, can you hear what I say?
Gonna be a hard pill to swallow
'Cause I'm a hard act to follow
(I am a hard act to follow)
I bring hurt, pain and sorrow (Ay)
And you know why? (You know why?)
See it in my eyes (See it my eyes)
Then say goodbye
[Verse 1]
Hey mister, I've been tellin' you to be afraid
This bad-ah man has bad news for you today (We've got problems)
I will be bringin' heartbreak to your door
You have no (no) more (more) time (time)
Your destiny (-ny) is mine, ay
[Chorus]
Gonna be a hard pill to swallow
(Ay, can you hear what I say?)
'Cause I'm a hard act to follow
(I am a hard act to follow)
I bring hurt, pain and sorrow (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you know why? (You know why?)
See it in my eyes (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ay)
Then say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Ay, in the moonlight your future I can see (I can see)
Your dreams are flowing, lookin' up to see
I see your shakin' now, lookin' back at me
You will be gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
Your career will not last long
[Verse 3]
I hear you cryin' S.O.S
Man you're calling S.O.S
Boy, you're cryin' S.O.S
I say you're cryin', yeah
I will be bringin' heartbreak to your door
You have no more time
Your destiny is mine
[Verse 4]
So please listen to my warning, my advice
Your end be coming soon, put all your dreams on ice
This island's sun's so beautiful and bright
For you it won't (won't) shine (shine) long
Yo man, you soon be-ing gone
[Chorus]
Gonna be a hard pill to swallow
(Hard pill to swallow, yeah)
'Cause I'm a hard act to follow
(I am a hard act to follow)
I bring hurt, pain and sorrow (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you know why? (You know why?)
See it in my eyes (See it in my eyes)
And you know why? (You know why?)
See it in my eyes (Yeah)
And you know why? (You know why?)
See it in my eyes (See it in my eyes)
Then say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Can you hear me?
