What do you say about the times?

I say ev’ry man can’t understand

Now what do you say about the time?

I said, when a man can’t understand

Now you can think you’re gonna have good times

Woo-well-well, then hard times again

We wants to have a good times

Don’t look like things will be that way no mo'

I said we wants to have a good time

Don’t look like things gon' be that way no mo'

But now you know I believe there will be a day

Woo-well-well, good times will come walkin' to yo' do'

I’ve got to the place

Hard times don’t worry me no mo'

I say, I’ve got to the place

Hard times don’t worry me no mo'

Why?

Because ev’rytime I go home

Woo-well-well, hard times standin' in my do'

Please now forget about the times

Don’t you worry about them no mo'

I said, now forget about the times

Don’t you worry 'bout them no mo'

Well now, you know you gon' keep be worried

Well-woo-woo, you be worried ev’ry place you go Now, now gonna go home

But now don’t seem like I can go I said, now I wanna go home

But it don’t seem like I can go Now you know I can tell you people

Ooo-well-well, hard times just hangin' on my do'.
