I’VE BEEN WANTING TO RUN AWAY OH RUN AWAY
LATELY BABY IT’S SO HARD TO STAY, IT’S GETTING SO HARD TO STAY
AND IT SEEMS NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY SOMETHING JUST AIN’T RIGHT
AND I CAN’T SIT THROUGH ONE MORE ONE MORE LONESOME NIGHT

OH WHEN TIMES GET HARD
JUST TELL ME WE’RE GONNA MAKE IT
I KNOW IT’S JUST ONE STEP ALONG THE WAY
JUST TELL ME WE GOT THE STRENGTH TO STAY

AND I REMEMBERING A LONG TIME AGO BEFORE I SOLD MY SOUL
AND SEEING A LIFE THROUGH THE EYES OF MY BABY CHILD
AND I WISH I COULD HAVE ANOTHER GO

OH WHEN TIMES GET HARD
JUST TELL ME WE’RE GONNA MAKE IT
I KNOW IT’S JUST A STEP ALONG THE WAY
BUT TELL ME WE GOT THE STRENGTH TO STAY

STAY IN LIGHT, STAY IN LOVE, WORK TOGETHER MAKE IT BETTER NOW
STAY, STAY AND LEARN, STAY AND GROW, WE’RE GONNA WORK IT TIL WE WORK IT OUT
STAY, THROUGH THE HIGHS, THROUGH THE LOWS, GETTING STRONGER AS WE WRESTLE THROUGH
STAY, WHILE IT’S GOOD, WHILE IT’S HARD, WHILE WE ARE LEARNING TO STAY

OH WHEN TIMES GET HARD, TIMES GET HARD
JUST TELL ME WE’RE GONNA MAKE IT, TELL ME WE ARE
OH WHEN TIMES GET HARD, WHEN TIMES GET HARD
I NEED TO KNOW WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IT
I NEED TO KNOW IT’S JUST A STEP ALONG THE WAY
JUST TELL ME WE GOT THE, STRENGTH
WE GOT THE STRENGTH, YEAH
