Lyrics Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond

Hard Times for Lovers

It isn't easy when you're makin' the scene

You either fit right in or fall in between

These are hard times for lovers

The kind of magic that you want every night

Well that's the kind that always

Goes by the morning light

Hard times for lovers

I'm gonna climb on your roof,

Beat on your door, act like a fool

Then I'll say it once more

These are hard times, really hard times

For lovers

It's gettin' harder

And you know it's the truth

Confusion seems to be the popular view of it

Hard times for lovers

Some people see it almost played like a game

The way it is today, it's kind of a shame

They're such hard times for lovers

I want to climb on your roof

Beat on your door, act like a fool

Then I'll say it once more

These are hard times

Really hard times for lovers

It isn't easy, no, I try to please you so

It isn't easy, you can take it from me

But maybe easy ain't the way

It's supposed to be

Hard times for lovers

I'm gonna climb on your roof

Beat on your door, act like a fool

Then I'll say it once more

These are hard times

I know that they are

Can carry that weight

But I don't know how far

These are hard times,

Truly hard times

God, they're hard times for lovers

Say No no no no no no no...

Say No no no no no no no...

Say No no no no no no no...

Say no, say no, say no

Say no, say no, say no...
