Ric Ocasek Hard Times
You give me hard times
When it’s late at night
I give me hard times
You kill my appetite
You're no ventriloquist
But you can throw a kiss
I give me hard times
When the race is tight
I give me bad times
When I’m feeling lost
I give me bad times
When you turn on that frost
You never hesitate
To move in checkmate
I give me hard times
At any cost
Yeah
I know that sometimes
You get foolish in your heart
I know that sometimes
You can’t help but fall apart
You come and go
I catch the afterglow
I give me hard times
When you’re coming down
I give me bad signs
When you don't make a sound
You get hysterical
It’s all so clerical
I give me hard times
It’s like a shakedown
Yeah, shakedown
I know that sometimes
That things don’t ever match
I know that sometimes
You don’t even need a map
The long street goes
I catch the afterglow
I give me hard times
When it’s late at night
Yeah, you give me hard times
When I feel alright
You're no ventriloquist
But you can throw a kiss
I give me hard times
Yeah
Braveheart times
