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.
