  • I went into town to see you
    yesterday
    but you were not home.
    So I talked to some old friends
    for a while
    before I wandered off alone.

    It's so hard for me now
    But I'll make it somehow,
    Though I know I'll never be the same.
    Won't you ever change your ways,
    It's so hard to make love pay
    When you're on the losing end,
    And I feel that way again.

    Well, I miss you more than ever,
    since you've gone
    I can hardly maintain.
    Things are different round here
    every night,
    my tears fall down like rain.

    It's so hard for me now
    But I'll make it somehow,
    Though I know I'll never be the same.
    Won't you ever change your ways,
    It's so hard to make love pay
    When you're on the losing end,
    And I feel that way again. Writer/s: Neil Young
