Hard Times

Stranded in the dead of night
Wishing for another time
Something tugging at my soul
I'm learning what the junkies know
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know you like I do?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know you like I do?
Well, I found heaven in hard times
Well, I found the crazy place where it all hides
I lost sight of Gloria
She never lost sight of me
I'm gonna reach Gloria
She's holding her hand to me
You've got a little of the hard times, baby
Hard times, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
I took a road off Main Street
Then something got a hold of me
I've challenged all the ones I love
And it gave my heart a heavy rub
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know you like I do?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know you like I do?
Oh, I found heaven in hard times
Oh, I found the crazy place where it all hides
I lost sight of Gloria
She never lost sight of me
I'm gonna reach Gloria
She's holding her hand to me
You've got a little of the hard times, baby
Hard times, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
Oh, hard times, baby
Hard times, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
I wanna see you
I wanna see you
I say I'll never leave you alone
I'll never leave you alone
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know?
Does anybody else know you like I?
Oh, I found heaven in hard times
Oh, I found the crazy place where it all hides
I lost sight of Gloria
She never lost sight of me
I'm gonna reach Gloria
She's holding her hand to me
(Gloria)
You've got a little of the hard times, baby
(I wanna see you)
Hard times, baby
You've got a little of the hard times, baby
Hard times, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
