I’m sorry for your life so far
I wish you wouldn’t take it so hard
These hard years they all add up
These hard years are just enough for the leaving
In the meantime, try a little harder no to let it show
There’s absolutely nothing to do
There’s absolutely something to lose
If he were here, well it’s all the same
If he were here he’d only steal you away one more time
In the meantime, try a little harder no to let it show
Ooh, na na na, try a little harder no to let it show
Ooh, na na na, try a little harder
Long ago, once upon a time
Lived a boy with a hill to climb
You know the story like you wrote it yourself
You could never stand by your man throught the hard years
In the meantime, try a little harder no to let it show
Ooh, na na na, try a little harder no to let it show
Ooh, na na na, try a little harder
Of all the hopeless passion plays
And all your rainbows turned to grays
And if I stay up late enough the one I love will come to me
Now I now that it’s untrue, I try a little harder not to let it show
Ooh, na na na, try a little harder no to let it show
Ooh, na na na, try a little harder
I’m sorry for your life so far
I wish you wouldn’t take it so hard
It’s just a thought and it’s my place
But I’ll say it once and I’ll say no more about it
In the meantime, how about it?
