Pickin' up the pieces, sweepin' off the dust
I thought it would be better but it's never been so rough
Flippin' through old numbers, dependin' on the past
It helps to have some company but it seems to never last

Then it comes, the loneliness within
Like a stone, crushin' me again

You're a hard act to follow
I can't find nobody, quite like you
You're a hard act to follow
Yeah yeah

Yesterdays were easy, gentle on my mind
I'd run to you for shelter from the storm and leave the world behind
The way you cleared my senses, the way you sooth my soul
If only I had faith in you my tears would never flow

Now you're gone, my hope is all in vain
I was wrong, I couldn't make you stay

You're a hard act to follow
There ain't anything, baby quite like you
You're a hard act to follow
Yeah Yeah

Everything I've done, I can't change
One to many crosses to bear
Who's to blame?
Oh just to have you back today

Oh then it comes, the loneliness within
I was wrong, it's crushin' me again

You're a hard act to follow
I can't find nobody quite like you
You're a hard act to follow yeah

You're a hard act to follow
There ain't anyone like you
You're a hard act to follow yeah
There ain't anything like you
I can't find nobody quite like you, yeah
