Written by Oakenfold, Gray, Furtado & Thaws. Vocals: Nelly Furtado & Tricky
Ooh…
The harder they come
Maybe love is not for me
Maybe lovers dream things that I don't dream
Maybe oh, maybe
Maybe you are just a little boy
Ask again you want a pride and joy
Maybe I should set you free
The harder they come
The harder they fall
Baby, maybe I would rather not go there at all
The harder they come
The harder they fall
Maybe I would rather not come here at all
See what comes 'round
The harder they come
The harder they come
The harder they fall
Baby, maybe I would rather not go there at all
The harder they come
The harder they fall
The harder they come
Come here at all…
