it s a hard knock life

Cher Lloyd

Don't if feel like the wind is always howling?
Don't it seem like there's never any light
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than putting up a fight

It's the hard knock life for us
It's the hard knock life for us
Instead of treated, we get tricked
Instead of kisses, we get kicked

It's the hard knock life
It's the hard knock life for us
It's the hard knock life for us
Instead of treated, we get tricked
Instead of kisses, we get kicked
It's the hard knock life

We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the long shots
Now Ima be on top whether I perform or not
I went from lukewarm to hot, sleepin' on futons and cots, yeah

No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy
From all the crying you would think this place's a sink, yeah

It's the hard knock life for us
It's the hard knock life for us
Instead of treated, we get tricked
Instead of kisses, we get kicked

It's the hard knock life
It's the hard knock life for us
It's the hard knock life for us
