The Harder They Fall Lyrics - John Denver

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night 

Jesse wishes she was at home 

Upset because her baby just ain't treatin' her right 

So afraid of being alone 

Said she heard some stories he's been runnin' around 

Said somehow she knows it's all true 

She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound 

She said she don't know what to do

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Think about a bad time, can't get much worse 

Think about a hard time, take it to the wall 

This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first 

The bigger they are, the harder they fall 

You might say she's caught between a rock and a hard place 

You might say she just can't win 

Some just can't recover from a slap in the face 

Some just get right up and start all over again 

Think about a bad time, can't get much worse 

Think about a hard time, take it to the wall 

This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first 

The bigger they are, the harder they fall 

Think about a bad time, can't get much worse 

Think about a hard time, take it to the wall 

This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first 

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night 

Jesse wishes she was at home 

She's mad because her baby just ain't treatin' her right 

So afraid of being alone 

So afraid of being alone 

Nobody wants to be all alone 

She don't want to be all alone 

So afraid of being alone 

We don't want to be all alone
