Lyrics
I’ve been finding it pretty hard lately
Facing challenges and difficulties recently.
Just being your good man.
Struggling to fulfill the role of a good man for you.
Some things didn’t work out
Experiencing setbacks or failures in certain aspects of life.
Quite how I’d planned.
Plans not unfolding as anticipated.
Some years behind me
Having a past with some years elapsed, yet still present in the current situation.
But here I still am.
Persisting through challenges and difficulties.
You know I’d buy you
Expressing a willingness to provide material things like a diamond ring if possible.
A diamond ring and things
Material offerings if circumstances allow.
If I could.
Expressing a desire to provide, but limited by circumstances.
But if all you want is me
If all that's desired is the person, and the relationship is enough, it's considered good.
And all we need is each other
Emphasizing the strength of the relationship as sufficient.
You know we got it so good.
Believing that the relationship is in a good state.
But you call them hard times.
Referring to challenging times despite the overall positive assessment of the relationship.
Yeah you call them hard times.
Reiterating the characterization of difficulties as hard times.
Hard times.
Emphasizing the challenging nature of the current situation.
I know that we don’t have nearly as much
Acknowledging a lack of material possessions compared to what is deemed deserved.
As a woman like you deserves.
Recognizing the partner's worth despite the absence of material wealth.
But I’m making all the wages
Earning a living through work, even if it may not be substantial.
They’ll pay me to work.
Highlighting the earnings as the result of effort and labor.
So my heart aches more than
Expressing emotional pain exceeding physical discomfort.
My back hurts.
Comparing heartache to physical pain, indicating emotional struggles.
I know you know better, darling.
Reassuring the partner that they understand the situation better.
I know you know better, darling.
Repetition for emphasis on the partner's understanding.
I know you know better, darling.
Repeated acknowledgment of the partner's superior understanding.
I know. I know you. I know you. I know you.
Intensive repetition emphasizing the depth of understanding.
You know we’ve got it so good.
Reiterating the positive aspects of the relationship.
You know we’ve got it so good.
Emphasizing the goodness of the relationship.
You know we’ve got it so good.
Repeatedly affirming the positive nature of the relationship.
But you call them hard times.
Despite the goodness, challenges are still labeled as hard times.
Yeah, you call them hard times.
Reiterating the characterization of difficulties as hard times.
