I was in my late 20s and struggling with two different relationships of the female sort. It was so strange that it was comical. I never had any money and couldn’t understand why a girl would want my attention. I tried to stay away from both of them. But they kept wanting to spend time with me. I was also trying to remain “connected” to God. I didn’t want to take advantage of them.

Chorus:
You’re givin’ me a hard time
you got a Man Down Now
always a hard time
if you’re where I’m at, yeah

Verse 1:
I tried the fire escape - the smoke from your floor
gets in my eyes - no, I’m not crying
I called the police station - they said, “Stay Away!”
cause you’ll burn inside - all night - all night

Chorus:(repeat)

Verse 2:
I’m on the cliff you made - and I’m over the edge
I’m falling fast - a splash to sea
Your hook came my way - with (Charlie) Chaplin-like lure
I’m kicking and flailing - and you’re reeling wild- so why
are

Chorus: (repeat)
This world needs a hard time
just look at where it’s at now
always a hard time - if you’re aware of where I’m at, yeah
