Time Tough

Uh

Feelin', listen

I go to bed

But sleep won't come

Get up in the night

I couldn't fight my feelings

Early in the morning, oh mercy

It's just the same situation, my, my, my

Here came the landlord, yeah

Just a-knockin', knockin' on my door

Knockin' upon my door

I've got four hundreds pounds rent to pay

And I can't find a job

Let me, let me tell you, time tough (Time tough)

Everything is out of sight

It's so hard (So hard, so hard, so hard)

Time tough

Everything is growing higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Sister Lee cannot bear it

And brother Lee can hardly stand it, now

They're crying night and day, louder and louder

Nobody to help them make their way

I've got four hundred pounds rent to pay

And I can't find a dollar

Let me tell you, time tough (Time tough)

Everything is out of sight

It's so hard (So hard, so hard, so hard)

Time hard (Time hard)

Everything is growing higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Good times was leading the bad times

But now the bad times take over, mmm

And from when I was a little boy

I just keep on feeling it, feelin' it, feelin' it, feelin' it, wow, listen ,yeah

Oh, uh, oh, yeah

Time tough (Time tough)

Everything is out of sight

It's so hard (So hard, so hard, so hard)

Time tough (Time tough)

Everything is growing higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Can't blame the minister

And you can't blame the preacher

And you can't blame your brother

You cannot blame your sister

You can't blame your friends

'Cause today is Judgement Day

And that's why everyone have to pray

Let me tell you, time tough (Time tough)

Everything is out of sight

It's so hard (So hard, so hard, so hard)

Time tough (Time tough)

Everything is growing higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Higher and higher (Higher and higher)

Higher and higher (Higher and higher)
