Hard Times

You give me hard times

When it's late at night

I give me hard times

You kill my appetite

You’re no ventriloquist

But you can throw a kiss



I give me hard times

When the race is tight



I give me bad times

When I'm feeling lost

I give me bad times

When you turn on that frost



You never hesitate

To move in checkmate

I give me hard times

At any cost



Yeah

I know that sometimes

You get foolish in your heart

I know that sometimes

You can't help but fall apart



You come and go

I catch the afterglow



I give me hard times

When you’re coming down

I give me bad signs

When you don't make a sound



You get hysterical

It's all so clerical

I give me hard times

It's like a shakedown

Yeah, shakedown



I know that sometimes

That things don't ever match

I know that sometimes

You don't even need a map



The long street goes

I catch the afterglow



I give me hard times

When it's late at night

Yeah, you give me hard times

When I feel alright

You're no ventriloquist

But you can throw a kiss



I give me hard times

Yeah

Braveheart times
