When I try to talk to you, you don’t even hear a line   Well, I just don’t know if I’m gonna live or die      You don’t have to bring me up and down   Rape my mind and spin me half way around   You don’t know me, as well as I know you   It’s your fate that’s creeping up on you      It’s so hard to live my life out each and every night   You just may have talked yourself right out of the situation   I’ll play all night, and I’ll play for free   So I’ll pack my bags and get right out of here      You don’t have to bring me up and down   Rape my mind and spin me half way around   You don’t know me, as well as I know you   It’s your fate that’s creeping up on you      It’s a hard life, hard life to live   Hard life, hard life to live   And you make it a hard life, hard life to live   It’s a hard life, hard life to live      Is this the way it’s gonna be   When will you understand      You don’t have to bring me up and down   Rape my mind and spin me half way around   You don’t know me, as well as I know you   It’s your fate that’s creeping up on you      It’s a hard life, hard life to live   Hard life, hard life to live   And you make it a hard life, hard life to live   It’s a hard life, hard life to live
