Hard Up Case

You told me once I was your pride and joy

I guess those days are dead and gone

You must have took me for some golden boy

You didn't know what you were taking on

It was a hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

Now all the angles have been played in three's

There isn't much that I can say

I know you gave your little heart to me

I guess I threw the thing away

It was a hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

Sometimes the truth is kind of hard to find

But don't you worry I can read your mind

And you don't have to tell me to my face

You put some other joker in my place

They dealt us houses full with the queens and kings

And now they're calling out our bluff

'Cause you and me girl we had everything

But it just wasn't quite enough

Now that's a hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

You say the truth is gonna set me free

Like you might throw a dog a bone

I know you're thinking that the joke's on me

Just take a look at what you 're dragging home --

Another hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case

It was a hard up case

Just another hard up case
