Hard Way of Livin' Songtext
von Piet Veerman

The lights come on, she takes the floor
The crowd inside applaudes And it′s over

She doesn't need to go with you,
But she takes
Her chance hopin′ you will be gentle
For she longs to be the object
Of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers,
Softly take her breath away

Tired now, she lies awake
With all those lonely years comin'down around her


Now what's it for a ten minute show a five minute man
To make her feel like nothin′ again

But she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers,
Softly take her pain away.
The roof creaks from above
And she hears the sound of headboards makin′love
And she wonders are they happy
Or are they just like her

So another night is lost again
And the good old sun peeks in like a friend Someone she knows
The bags are packed, it's time to go
A call to the man outside it′s another show


Still she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers Softly take her life away
