it comes hard when you want it soft
it comes fast when you want it slow
you don't get it when you're trying to hard
you won't make it when you want it bad
you don't want it when you're played the cards
it's a long line when you're in a hurry
it's a cheap price when the takin's easy
it takes two when you're on your own
it stops playing when you're having fun
you don't need it when it's in excess
you won't take it when it is a vest
you don't have it when it would be best
it's a long line when you're in a hurry
it's a cheap price when the takin's easy
you're away when I need you here
you're alone when I want you dear
it's my life which I choose to hold
and I'm crumbling with my broken bones
can't you see me as I'm waving you near
why do you walk past when I'm here?
