Hard Times

Through the hard times

People say, "You gotta be strong"

Through these hard times

People say, "You gotta keep going on"

Through the hard times

People try and kick you when you're down

Through these hard times

Don't it always seem like

There's never anyone around

To help you when you're strung out?

(Through these hard times)

When you're falling out

No one seems to care

(Through these hard times)

They just run you down

Tell you that life isn't fair, no

(Through these hard times)

So through the hard times, let me know

(Through these hard times)

That I'm not alone

(Through these hard times)

'Cause right now I need you more

(I need you more)

Than I've ever thought

Through these hard times

People see what it's like for the poor

Through these hard times

People really find out what it's like to be ignored

Through these hard times

People just don't seem to give a damn

Oh-oh, no

Through these hard times

It really feels like no one understands oh-oh yeah

(Through these hard times)

So through the hard times, let me know

(Through these hard times)

That I'm not alone

(Through these hard times)

'Cause right now I need you more

(I need you more)

Than I ever did before

(Through these hard times)

Ain't it funny how no one seems to care?

Through these hard times

They just run you down

Tell you that life isn't fair

Oh-oh-oh yeah

Oh, through the hard times, please let me know

Through the hard times, I'm not alone

Through the hard times

Through the hard times, let me know

(Through these hard times)

That I'm not alone

(Through these hard times)

'Cause right now I need you more

(I need you more)

Than I ever did before

Oh, than I ever did before

Oh-oh

Right now I need you more

Than I ever did before
