The boy inside the man, looks hard into the night 

The neighborhood can't get to sleep 

The stereo is playing something hard and fast 

The boy is tough, he plays for keeps 

No one's gonna tell him he's too wild 

Everybody knows he's a problem child 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

It's a hard time, it's a fine line, for a hard rock kid 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

Leave him alone, he's in a hard rock zone 

In the shadows, there's a heart that's beating strong 

And through the night, he feels the heat 

He's like a stranger as he dances on the stage 

He's made a promise that he can't keep 

But no one's gonna tell the boy he's wild 

Everybody knows he's a hungry child 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

It's a fine line, it's a hard time, for a hard rock kid 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

Leave him alone, he's in a hard rock zone 

She watches as he turns, pretending not to care 

And yet she knows the way he feels 

The need for love so strong, together they can win 

For now the music's all that's real 

But no one's gonna tell the boy he's wild 

Everybody knows he's a problem child 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

It's a hard time, it's a fine line, for a hard rock kid 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

Leave him alone, he's in a hard rock zone 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

It's a hard time, it's a fine line, for a hard rock kid 

He's a hard rock, he's a hard rock, he's a hard rock kid (kid) 

Leave him alone, he's in a hard rock zone
