I look around me and, I discover
Everyone's life's in a mess
We're all looking for the perfect lover

But most of us are willing
To settle for less
(in these)

Hard times for hearts that need
Hard times indeed
Hard times for hearts that need
Hard times indeed

I watch the girls
Watch them selves in the mirror
I guess they've got nothing better to do
In their faces a trace of the fear
Or the certainty that happiness
Is just for the few
(in these)

Hard times for hearts that need
Hard times indeed
Hard times for hearts that need
Hard times indeed

So let them live inside their illusions
I've got something else to pull me through
You are the one who helps me
Lose this confusion
And gives me something
To hold onto
(in these)

Hard times for hearts that need
Hard times indeed
Hard times for hearts that need
Hard times indeed
