lyrics

Penny, it's a pity
To go our separate ways
When I see you in the city
Every other day
We can't be together
But I know you think of me
Because you wrote it in a letter
Now it's so hard to be

Hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers

Penny, it's a shame
We ever said our love was wrong
How can we snuff the flame
Burning for so long?
It's not easy to forget you
When we ride the same bus line
So on your lunch break can I meet you
To say goodbye one more time?

It's hard to be
It's hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
It's hard to be
Hard to be strangers

It's hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be strangers
It's hard to be
It's hard to be
It's hard to be strangers
Hard to be
It's hard to be
Hard to be strangers
Hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be
Hard to be

With Jesey Meche on drums and Dr. E on bass, Ginger Bug’s songs captivate with rootsy grooves and an undeniable crowd-drawing energy. ... more
