It's been hard times for everyone
Costs twice the money
For only half the fun
And that ain't no lie?

Collectors at the back door
Con men in the mail
I gotta get my act together
'Fore they throw my ass in jail

Just as long as you tell me you love me
Just as long as you tell me you care
Just as long as you say that you love me
You know I ain't going nowhere

I been trying to keep on top
But everything I own, everything I own
Is in the pawn shop

Ooh, the city got no feeling
Don't care about me at all
And girl, I sure hope you'll be there
I sure hope you'll be there, baby
To catch me if I fall

Sooner or later, I'm gonna turn myself around
Gonna get back on the good street
Gonna be on the rebound
If we can just get through the bad times
You know we got it made, baby
It's like walking in the sunshine after standing in the rain

We're gonna make it, baby, if we stay together
We gotta learn to deal with stormy weather
Just as long as you tell me you love me
Just as long as I know you care
I won't never have to worry
'Cause I know that you'll be standing there

Just as long as you tell me you love me
Just as long as I know you care
Just as long as you say that you love me
Everything will be alright
