Hard Times

Nummer van The Scabs
Origineel op album Royalty in Exile (1990)
I gave you a hard time I told you the news There's no "I'm sorries" 'Cause there ain't no excuse The things I've been doing The things that I say The road to ruin Between you and me My reasons for cheating I don't know what to say Maybe it's nature Having it's way You know that I love you But that's easy to say You'd make me proud of you If you would stay I promised you sunshine I promised you, you'd be all mine, ow-ohoh Instead of the good times A killer came And took your heart away I gave you hard times baby I told you truth and lies I gave you hard times baby I told you truth and lies I was silly believing My lies could last 'Cause sooner or later The rumour would spread I offen wonder How the things would be If you hadn't found out The truth about that girl and me Can't promise you sunshine Can't promise you'll be all mine, ow-ohoh I'll try to be honest Unlike the first time It won't slip my mind I gave you hard times baby I told you truth and lies I gave you hard times baby I told you truth and lies I promised you sunshine I promised you, you'd be all mine, ow-ohoh Instead of the good times A killer came And took your heart away I gave you hard times baby I told you truth and lies I gave you hard times baby I told you truth and lies I gave you hard times I told you truth and lies I gave you hard times I gave you hard times I gave you hard times I told you truth and lies I look out the window I watch the street kids grow Life was so easy When I was that old There were no lies And no things to be told Just lullabies And time to grow old
