Hard Times

When you are winning
When you are winning, I'm with you
I'm sun and springing
Yeah, sun and springing's what I do

And I'm your best friend
Yeah, I'm your best friend, I pretend
Just like a new trend
You know this friendship will soon end

'Cause when the hard times are coming
My true colors show
And what I give you is nothing
I say, you're on your own

'Cause when the hard times are coming
I'm the first to run
So for the hard times
You know you're on your own

You made a bad stroke
You made a bad stroke, you should have known
'Cause I'm all for smalltalk
If you want smalltalk then pick up the phone

And I'll be your best friend
Well, at least now for a little while
But don't go around the bend
'Cause I can only stand you when you smile

'Cause when the hard times are coming
My true colors show
And what I give you is nothing
I say, you're on your own

'Cause when the hard times are coming
I'm the first to run, so for the hard times
You know you're on your own
Just like a sinking stone

A friend in need is a friend indeed
That's what I've been told
But a friend in me lacks that heart of gold

'Cause when the hard times are coming
And what I give you is nothing
Yeah, when the hard times are coming
You know you're on your own

'Cause when the hard times are coming
My true colors show
And what I give you is nothing
I say, you're on your own

'Cause when the hard times are coming
I'm the first to run, so for the hard times
You know you're on your own
Just like a sinking stone
I say, you're on your own
Just like a sinking stone, yeah
