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......
