Hard Up Case Lyrics - Steely Dan

You told me once I was your pride and joy 

I guess those days are dead and gone 

You must have took me for some golden boy 

You didn't know what you were taking on 

It was a hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

Now all the angles have been played in three's 

There isn't much that I can say 

I know you gave your little heart to me 

I guess I threw the thing away 

It was a hard up case

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

Sometimes the truth is kind of hard to find 

But don't you worry I can read your mind 

And you don't have to tell me to my face 

You put some other joker in my place 

They dealt us houses full with the queens and kings 

And now they're calling out our bluff 

'cause you and me girl we had everything 

But it just wasn't quite enough 

Now that's a hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

Photos 

You say the truth is gonna set me free 

Like you might throw a dog a bone 

I know you're thinking that the joke's on me 

Just take a look at what you 're dragging home -- 

Another hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case 

It was a hard up case 

Just another hard up case
