Pickin' up the pieces, sweepin' off the dust   I thought it would be better but it's never been so rough   Flippin' through old numbers, dependin' on the past   It helps to have some company but it seems to never last      Then it comes, the loneliness within   Like a stone, crushin' me again      You're a hard act to follow   I can't find nobody, quite like you   You're a hard act to follow   Yeah yeah      Yesterdays were easy, gentle on my mind   I'd run to you for shelter from the storm and leave the world behind   The way you cleared my senses, the way you sooth my soul   If only I had faith in you my tears would never flow      Now you're gone, my hope is all in vain   I was wrong, I couldn't make you stay      You're a hard act to follow   There ain't anything, baby quite like you   You're a hard act to follow   Yeah Yeah      Everything I've done, I can't change   One to many crosses to bear   Who's to blame?   Oh just to have you back today      Oh then it comes, the loneliness within   I was wrong, it's crushin' me again      You're a hard act to follow   I can't find nobody quite like you   You're a hard act to follow yeah      You're a hard act to follow   There ain't anyone like you   You're a hard act to follow yeah   There ain't anything like you   I can't find nobody quite like you, yeah
