Is it...
Rush - "Time Stand Still"I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath Before I start off again Driven on without a moment to spend To pass an evening with a drink and a friend I let my skin get too thin I'd like to pause...
Cheap Trick - "Don't Be Cruel"Well you know I can be found Sitting all alone If you can't come around At least please telephone But don't be cruel To a heart that's true Baby, if I made you mad For something I might have said...
Lita Ford - "Close My Eyes Forever"Baby I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand Is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy?
Did you find another man? Heaven Is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you What am I supposed to do...
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelin's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Oh yeah, bye bye, so long, don't cry
I'm just packin' my bags, whoo, leavin' you
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'...
KISS - Hard Luck Woman Lyrics

Bye, bye my baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh

Kiss Lyrics
"Hard Luck Woman" If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelings would never show
It's time I start walking
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep telling you, hard-luck woman
You ain't a hard-luck woman
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard-luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man
Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you, hard-luck woman
You ain't a hard-luck woman
You'll be a hard-luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man
Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard-luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man
You'll be a hard-luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man
Oh yeah, bye bye
So long, don't cry
I'm just packing my bags, whoa, leaving you
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on moving, yeah moving
Bye, bye baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh
