lyrics

A promise was like a prayer to her
She’d been hurt so many times before
Every time he walked out the door

Dropping off the kids at school, time to get the shopping done
Then it’s straight back home.
All the things that she had learned, when she lived on her own
Mean nothing now that’s all gone

Woh oh, It’s Hard Times
Yeah, Hard Times

She thought he was the chosen one,
there was magic and plenty of fun
But my how things can change
When she found out that he had strayed, she forgave him once for the life they made
But it all started to seem strange

Woh Oh oh oh, it’s Hard Times
Yeah yeah yeah yeah Hard Times
Woh oh oh oh, Hard Times
Yeah yeah yeah it’s Hard Times

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn, her kind of love couldn’t be reborn
She’d always done what she thought she should.
Now they’re living separate lives, she’s a woman not a wife
When she was done with that man, she was done for good.

Woh oh oh oh, it’s Hard Times
Yeah yeah yeah yeah Hard Times
Yeah yeah yeah yeah Hard Times
Woh oh oh, it’s Hard Times

A promise was like a prayer to her
She’d been hurt so many times before
Every time he walked out the door
