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


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
