Hard Times
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She asks me 'round to have a bite to eat,
When i get there, she's invited the street.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
I tell her that i'd rather be alone,
She gets the car and says she'll drive me home.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
Now, take a night, like the night we met,
I was drinking in the bar, just tryin' to forget.
When she comes home and says, "you're looking blue."
I said, "with my problems so, wouldn't you?"
She takes me home and slips on something cool,
She gives me kisses where she don't as a rule.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
Take it away, sugar!
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
Now, take a night, like the night we met,
I was drinking in the bar, just tryin' to forget.
When she comes home and says, "you're looking blue."
I said, "with my problems so, wouldn't you?"
She takes me home and slips on something cool,
She let me kiss her where she don't as a rule.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times.
