It's So Hard
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
You gotta drink,
You gotta feel something,
You gotta worry.
But it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta live,
You gotta love,
You gotta be somebody,
You gotta shove.
But you know it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
But when it's good,
It's really good.
And when I hold you in my arms, baby,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
Ow!
You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.
But you know, it's hard,
It's hard to get hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
Ow!
You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.
But you know, it's hard,
It's so hard to get hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
