Whatever I do

It turns out wrong

Bought a brand new car

It didn't last long

They were lyin', cheatin'

Takin' my money



I just can't get it right

So all they give me is hard times

Hard times, hard times

All I get is hard times



It took a long time

And I didn't earn a dime

To get what I've got

Now they only take lot

We were smokin', we were jokin'

Throwin' it away



Well, it's one long fight

And all they give me is hard times

Hard times, hard times

All I get is hard times



Got music to play

Day after day

No free talk wonder

I don't care what they say

You ain't with it

So don't dig it

Just wastin' my time



I'm gonna get it right

So don't give me those hard times

Hard times, hard times

All I get is hard times
