Hard Times

Well she used to get in most weekends and she hardly had to try
And she still goes out in those fishnets but they’ve sure seen better times
And she didn’t have to work that much cause her looks will get her by
But she’s got a kid now who she loves, so she’s working day and night
She can’t quit so she gets ill
An on his call as she meets him
She feels like sometimes she can’t win
In these hard times
Ooh you know we’ve got hard times
And ooh you know we’ve got real love, real love
Hoping it’ll be enough for these hard times
Well he went to university and he could have had it all
Was the first one in the family, didn’t work in overalls
Well he met her on student night, it was just a one night stand
But he knows he’s got to do the right thing, be the better man
He tries to make the morning last
He’s living in his overdraft
The days and weeks and months go by too fast
In these hard times
Ooh you know you’ve got hard times
And ooh you know we’ve got real love, real love
Hoping it’ll be enough for these hard times
They used to be much better off but they fell on harder times
An if she’s got him and he’s got her, then they’re gonna be alright
Cause real love, real love
Hoping it’ll be enough for these hard times
And ooh you know we’ve got hard times
And ooh you know we’ve got real love, real love
Hoping it’ll be enough for these hard times
