Hard Times For Lovers

Composer: Neil Diamond
Performed by Kim Carnes & Neil Diamond (single - 1991)


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 ev'ry 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 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 no no no no no
