[Verse 1]
It's all I can do
To keep that little girl smiling
And keep my faith alive
Takes all I got to hold on 'til tomorrow

[Chorus]
And you wanna make it hard
You wanna make it hard on me

[Verse 2]
Some other time
I'd be understanding
You were supposed to be
The friend that I needed when I was down and out

[Chorus]
You wanna make it hard
You wanna make it hard on me

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe if I tried, I could turn the other cheek
Maybe, but how big do I have to be?

[Chorus]
Now you wanna make it hard
You wanna make it hard on me

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe if I tried, I could turn the other cheek
Maybe, but how big do I have to be?

[Verse 3]
I need someone
To put their arms around mе
Shelter me from all harm
Just as I find somеthing to believe in

[Chorus]
You wanna make it hard
You wanna make it hard on me
Yeah, you wanna make it hard
You wanna make it hard on me

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66.
