Times Like These Lyrics
Tell me a secret
Tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit
But don't ask me why
Love never seems to last you
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
Over a barrel
Under a spell
Money's the demon that drives you
Limping through heaven
Or running through hell
Happiness smiles but denies you
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
Nothing before you
Nothing behind
Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Travelling lightly
Travelling blind
Never detouring to wonder why
Tell me a secret
Tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit
But don't ask me why
Love never seems to last you
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
Nothing before you
Nothing behind
Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Travelling lightly
Travelling blind
Never detouring to wonder why
Tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit
But don't ask me why
Love never seems to last you
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
Under a spell
Money's the demon that drives you
Limping through heaven
Or running through hell
Happiness smiles but denies you
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
Nothing behind
Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Travelling lightly
Travelling blind
Never detouring to wonder why
Tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit
But don't ask me why
Love never seems to last you
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
Nothing behind
Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Travelling lightly
Travelling blind
Never detouring to wonder why

This song seems to be a man realizing he should not get married to the one he has been blindly chasing. There is no meaningful past, no future, so why get on one knee and propose? It's so easy for a woman to manipulate a man and get him on his knees and settle for these secrets and the lies. She is just following the money. The HARD part is walking away. Staying off your knees. That's hard.
