Teresa James Life Is Hard
You know my phone stopped ringing and my car won't start
My bird quit singing and my dog won't bark
It didn't start raining until my umbrella sprung a leak
My guitar won't tune and my drummer's dropping beats
My agent's making promises that he can't keep
But, hey, that's show biz and I'm in deep
Sometimes things work out- sometimes they don't
Just when you think it will that's when it won't
Times get tough, but you can't quite
Life is hard but you gotta live with it
My run of bad luck has lasted way too long
My lotto numbers always come up wrong
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
You know my doctor tells me I'm just like everybody else
If I'd a known I'd live this long, I'd taken care of
myself
So I didn't pay his bill I signed an IOU
Sometimes things work out- sometimes they don't
Just when you think it will that's when it won't
Times get tough, but you just can't quite
Life is hard but you gotta live with it
