Tell me a secret   Tell me a lie   Tell me the truth if you have to   Say what you see fit   But don't ask me why   Love never seems to last you.      In times like these   It's hard to keep a man off his knees   In times like these   It's hard to keep a man off his knees.      Over a barrel   Under a spell   Money's the demon that drives you   Limping through heaven   Or running through hell   Happiness smiles but denies you.      In times like these   It's hard to keep a man off his knees   In times like these   It's hard to keep a man off his knees.      Nothing before you   Nothing behind   Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder   Travelling lightly   Travelling blind   Never detouring to wonder why.      --- Instrumental ---      Tell me a secret   Tell me a lie   Tell me the truth if you have to   Say what you see fit   But don't ask me why   Love never seems to last you.      In times like these   It's hard to keep a man off his knees   In times like these   It's hard to keep a man off his knees.      Nothing before you   Nothing behind   Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder   Travelling lightly   Travelling blind   Never detouring to wonder why...
