Come Down Hard
Badfinger · Other Songs - Badfinger
He was on his way, she would have to play the part out
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'
She didn't understand, it didn't go the way she planned it
She thought the ties were strong
Then it all went wrong, she landed
She come down hard
[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]
She was noticing just lately
She had seen a thing or two
Things would get a little shaky
And there was nothin' she could do
She go, "boo hoo hoo"
She looked around the place and there was no one there to save her, oh no
And now her eyes would burn
He would not return, she knew it
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'
She come down hard
Leavin'
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin'...
