Lyrics Times Like These - Some Velvet Morning

Times Like These

Yes I know I could, do myself a world of good
With a compromise that I don’t understand
Declare I see the clothes, tell the emperor he glows
But I won’t and so it’s out of my hands
Woah, at times like these it’d be easy
Woah, to sit back, relax and let it be
Woah, at times like these it’d be easy
To let you win, but that’s not within me
You say that joy exists, and I hear that ignorance is bliss
Yeh they say that it’s a magical place
But hard as I may try, two plus two just won’t make five
So the only way to win is not to play
Woah, at times like these it’d be easy
Woah, to sit back, relax and let it be
Woah, at times like these it’d be easy
To let you win, but that’s not within me
Ohh
Ohh
If I’m uptight
It’s just the symptom of a constant fight
Ooh this life, this life
Ooh your lies, your lies
Ooh this life, this life
Woah, at times like these
I won’t let you win
I can’t let you win
I won’t let you win
I can’t let you win
I won’t let you win
I can’t let you win
Though at times like these it’d be easy
