It's A Hard Life Lyrics
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to any one
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
Yeah yeah
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
Ooh, I try to fight back the tears
Ooh, they say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts (yeah) - deep inside (oh yeah)
When your love has cut you down to size
This life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back at myself and say I did it for love (ooh)
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to any one
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
Ooh, I try to fight back the tears
Ooh, they say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
When your love has cut you down to size
This life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back at myself and say I did it for love (ooh)
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

It kinda sounds a like Play the game. When they say "This is your life - don't play hard to get" in Play the Game and then when they say "its a hard life" in this song it sounds very similar.
The time I studed for the application
It appears that I'm the only one but I love this song anyway
The first time I heard this song was on Greatest Video Hits II, the music video being so over the top and ridiculuos it took me a while to get beyond the operatic setting and costumes, but there is definitely a beautiful song here. The video is almost parodying 'love' and the song seems to be doing the same, there is a lot more going on, but all we focus on is the romanticism of love and almost running our lives around that
Italian Phaethon hit it right!
Although I have to say, it's actually a Boheiminan Raphody sound alike. Listen to the both. They both have repeated E chords in them.
This song is something I'm familiar with in my life.
I absolutely love this song and Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest songwriters ever!!! I think the song is about truly believing in love and putting love before everything else. (I know I'm stating the obvious here, but whatever...)
its written in the same key as Bohemian rhapsody too. but its lovely. i thinks its about how hard life is with and without love
I agree this song has a certain degree of sadness to it. Does anyone else enjoy the way he says " This is a tricky situation" ?
haha yes, he pronounces it so pleasingly.
haha yes, he pronounces it so pleasingly.
'This is a tricky situation' part is the best bit of the song as well as the 'you win you lose' bit. Like i said before all about the troubles of love.
