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
