Hard Time
The Wrights Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Better start prayin' child of mine
If you wanna get to the other side
Get on your knees and tell him what you did last night
You're gonna have a hard time, 'til you get it right
You're gonna have a hard time

Tell me now what I'm gonna do with you
Won't do one thing I want you to

And all you can think is who's it gonna be tonight
You're gonna have a hard time 'til you get it right
You're gonna have a hard time

You used to be such a good little girl
Now you gotta problem with the whole damn world
Sleepin' all day and runnin' around all night
You're gonna have a hard time 'til you get it right
You're gonna have a hard time

Better start prayin' child of mine
If you wanna get to the other side
Get on your knees and tell him what you did last night
You're gonna have a hard time 'til you get it right

You're gonna have a hard time 'til you get it right
You're gonna have a hard time

Better start prayin' child of mine
You need to begin praying if you want to achieve your goals as my child

If you wanna get to the other side
If you want to overcome your current situation and succeed

Get on your knees and tell him what you did last night
You need to humble yourself before God and confess your sins

You're gonna have a hard time, 'til you get it right
Your life won't be easy until you start doing things the right way

Tell me now what I'm gonna do with you
I'm unsure how to help you or guide you

Won't do one thing I want you to
You refuse to take my advice or follow my instructions

And all you can think is who's it gonna be tonight
You only care about your own pleasure and don't consider the consequences of your actions

You used to be such a good little girl
You were once obedient and well-behaved, but now you've changed for the worse

Now you gotta problem with the whole damn world
You have issues with everyone and everything around you

Sleepin' all day and runnin' around all night
You have bad habits such as sleeping excessively and being active at odd hours

You're gonna have a hard time 'til you get it right
Your life will continue to be difficult until you start making better choices
