Hard Cold Truth

words and music by John Eddie

Ah darlin we ain't the kids
and ah Shakespear's a play
Romeo and Juliette never acted this way
we ain't the lovers that you see
well on your broke down television screen
it's a real life drama
and darlin it's the walkin sceene

Chorus:
And baby that's the hard cold truth
we ain't the romance of the century
Ah darlin that's the hard cold truth
it just got told to me

There was a time
I would have fought for you
I would have done a bunch dumb things
well if you wanted me too
well I'd fought bad guys one by one
I'd taken just about any risk
but you got lots of heros
you like to give the victory kiss

Chorus

Hard cold truth
Lord hits ya like a knock out punch
its the truth
you're in the corner boy and you can't run
its gonna blacken both your eyes
its gonna bust your pretty lip
well now you can run away
hit your knees and baby start to pray
yeah but you can't give that hard cold truth the slip

And baby that's the hard cold truth
yeah yeah
sugar that's the hard cold truth
Ah darlin that's the hard cold truth
now darlin that's the hard cold truth
