Livin In Desperate Times (Humbertos Alternate Mix / Remastered 2021) lyrics by Olivia Newton-John

Verse 1
Never thought it would be so rough
And I wonder if I have enough
To keep from breaking down
No mercy in this town
Every day is just another test
Seems I’m always second best
But you learn along the way
That’s the price you have to pay

Pre-Chorus 1
I try to stay defiant, be tough and self-reliant
Though I get tired to the bone
Love is just a wish I keep inside
How’s it gonna help me to survive?
Looks like I’m in this fight alone

Chorus
And I’m livin’ in desperate times
Being alive’s my only crime
Don’t care what I have to do
I’ll find somе way to make it through
Oh, and I’m livin’ in desperatе times
And it’s too late to change my mind
‘Til these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run

Verse 2
Innocents get taken in
By the promise of an easy win
They start off so naive
So eager to believe
But the glitter of city lights
Only covers up a lonely night
Of strangers slamming doors
You’re hungry and ignored

Pre-Chorus 2
I’ve faced the competition
I’ve made the hard decisions
Will it be worth it in the end?
Taking any chance that comes along
Getting hard to tell what’s right or wrong
I only wish I had a friend

Chorus
And I’m livin’ in desperate times
Being alive’s my only crime
Don’t care what I have to do
I’ll find some way to make it through
Oh, and I’m livin’ in desperate times
And it’s too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run
