What do you say about the times?
I say ev’ry man can’t understand
Now what do you say about the time?
I said, when a man can’t understand
Now you can think you’re gonna have good times
Woo-well-well, then hard times again
We wants to have a good times
Don’t look like things will be that way no mo'
I said we wants to have a good time
Don’t look like things gon' be that way no mo'
But now you know I believe there will be a day
Woo-well-well, good times will come walkin' to yo' do'
I’ve got to the place
Hard times don’t worry me no mo'
I say, I’ve got to the place
Hard times don’t worry me no mo'
Why?
Because ev’rytime I go home
Woo-well-well, hard times standin' in my do'
Please now forget about the times
Don’t you worry about them no mo'
I said, now forget about the times
Don’t you worry 'bout them no mo'
Well now, you know you gon' keep be worried
Well-woo-woo, you be worried ev’ry place you go Now, now gonna go home
But now don’t seem like I can go I said, now I wanna go home
But it don’t seem like I can go Now you know I can tell you people
Ooo-well-well, hard times just hangin' on my do'.
