Whatever I do
It turns out wrong
Bought a brand new car
It didn't last long
They were lyin', cheatin'
Takin' my money

I just can't get it right
So all they give me is hard times
Hard times, hard times
All I get is hard times

It took a long time
And I didn't earn a dime
To get what I've got
Now they only take lot
We were smokin', we were jokin'
Throwin' it away

Well, it's one long fight
And all they give me is hard times
Hard times, hard times
All I get is hard times

Got music to play
Day after day
No free talk wonder
I don't care what they say
You ain't with it
So don't dig it
Just wastin' my time

I'm gonna get it right
So don't give me those hard times
Hard times, hard times
All I get is hard times
