Hard Times

Just wanna hold you

The way I always did when you were young

And I need to warn you

Not all the things I said will turn out wrong

The things that you don't know

Heartaches, business, backstabs, bills to pay

I wish that I told you before

You're Strong enough to make it

You're old enough to go

My heart about to break in

I know you'll make it on your own

What about the hard times

And the little things they never say

Can I be your lifeline

Baby you call me anyday

And I know, I know

I just can't rule your life

Save it for the hard times

You're out on your own now

The way you always wanted since that day

You walk in my shoes now

Remember what your old man used to say

You ain't getting younger

Setbacks, pensions, mortgage, bills to pay

Whether you want it or not

You're Strong enough to make it

You're old enough to go

My heart about to break

I know you'll make it on your own

What about the hard times

And the little things they never say

You used up all your lifelines

You call me anyway

And I know, I know

I just can't make it right

Save it for the hard times

What about the hard times

And the little things they never say

Can I be your lifeline

Baby you call me anyday

Now what about the hard times

And the little things they never say

You used up all your lifelines

You call me anyway

Cause you're strong enough to make it

And you're old enough to go

And nothing's gonna break you

I know You'll make it on your own

Cause you're strong enough to make it

And you're old enough to go

And nothing's gonna break you

I know You'll make it on your own

And I know, I know

I just can't make it right

Save it for the hard times
