Hard up Case — текст песни (Steely Dan)

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 didnt 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 threes

There isnt 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 dont you worry I can read your mind

And you dont 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 theyre calling out our bluff

cause you and me girl we had everything

But it just wasnt quite enough

Now thats 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 youre thinking that the jokes 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
