Ohh life's so hard
Someday's you need something new to wear
Like a brand new hat
Try so hard
To work it out
People try to hold you back
On day's like that
You need another hand
It's the same all over the world
People have to earn a living
Now you're so far from the troubles at home
Leave them alone
And they'll work themselves out
We love it
Glad to be alive
I like it
Working over time in lovin'
I hope tomorrow feels like this
Yeah
Dreaming hard
Brand new car
And another home loan
And the phone bill is overdue
Don't give up on rainy days
I've seen the sun come shining through
On you and me
Make you feel alright
Life's so hard
We can work it out
Will it's a big tough city
