Hard Times

You give me hard times
When it's late at night
You give me hard times
You kill my appetite
You're no ventriloquist
But you can throw a kiss
You give me hard times
When the race is tight
You give me bad times
When I'm feeling lost
You give me bad times
When you turn on that frost
You never hesitate
To move in checkmate
You give me hard times
At any cost
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
You give me hard times
When you're coming down
You give me bad signs
When you don't make a sound
You get hysterical
It's all so clerical
You give me hard times
It's like a shakedown
Yeah, shakedown
I know that sometimes
My things don't even match
I know that sometimes
You don't even need a map
The long streak goes
I catch the afterglow
You give me hard times
When it's late at night
You give me hard times
When I feel alright
You're no ventriloquist
But you can throw a kiss
You give me hard times
Yeah, pretty hard times
