Hard Times for Lovers

Seems like it was just a while ago
 All of my friends and I
 Went to each other's weddings
 And stood by each other's sides
 And became brides
 But talking on the phone with Kirk today
 He said that he and Liz were through
 And by the way that things have been going
 You could say they were overdue
 For every other married pair of us
 Had already split in two
 Each of us turning out lights alone
 Or sleeping with someone new
 Ain't it true
 These are hard times for lovers
 Everyone wants to be free
 Ain't these hard times for lovers
 Everyone's singing
 I got to be me without you
 Now, honey, I'm supposed to tell you
 I've got to live for today
 And don't you see it is my lifetime
 I've got to live it my own way
 But lately I can't help thinking
 I reap what I sow
 For all of my holy freedom
 What have I got to show
 I don't know
 These are hard times for lovers
 Everyone wants to be free
 Ain't these hard times for lovers
 Everyone's singing
 I got to be me without you
 Ain't these hard times for lovers
 Everyone wants to be free
 Ain't these hard times for lovers
 Everyone's singing
 I got to be me without you
 Without you, without you
