Well I saw my best man Bob
At his minimum wage job
And now he wonders what all his schooling was for
Then I ran into dear Julie
She's well-off but she told me truly
She has so much but she wants more
Everything, everything
Everything is harder than it used to be
Everything, everything
Everything is harder than it used to be
Hitori bochi no yoru
So I called up ol' Freddie
Feeling unsteadied
His honey's job has got her working afar
Now my main connexion Caroline
Normally she would be doing fine
Except she can't afford her home or her car
Everything, everything
Everything is harder than it used to be
Everything, everything
Everything is harder than it used to be
Hitori bochi no yoru
Well I talked to my boy Olly
Feelin' melancholy
He's still in debt and he don't know why
Then I jazzed with my baby
She's a very special lady
She works so much, she is ready to cry
Everything, everything
Everything is harder than it used to be
Everything, everything
Everything is harder than it used to be
Hitori bochi no yoru
