[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
All I ever did was love you
Is this a price I pay?
I tried so hard to hate you
But love gets in the way
[Pre-Chorus]
To think that you don't need me
Drives me right out of my mind
Oh, yes
These are trying times
[Chorus]
Trying times
These are trying times
It don't matter how I try
I can't get you off of my mind
[Refrain]
And knowing you don't love me
Keeps tearing me up inside
Oh, yes
These are trying times
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Sometimes I get bitter
At the mention of your name
But then your sweet, sweet memory
Erases all the pain
[Refrain]
Don't you have a conscience?
How can you be so unkind?
Oh, yes
These are trying times
[Chorus]
Trying times
These are trying times
It don't matter how I try
I can't get you off of my mind
[Refrain]
Knowing you don't love me
Keeps tearing me up inside
Oh, yes
These are trying times
[Outro]
Oh, yes
These are trying times
