Paul Revere & The Raiders - Don't Take It So Hard Lyrics






I've tried to let you down so easy
I'd like to still be just a friend
We shared such memories together
But all good things come to an end

And you shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
Oh, you shouldn't take it so hard

You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard

So hard, so hard, hard

You wonder when you're gonna see me
I might just pass this way again
Until then don't you wait up for me
'Cause now I'm getting in the wind

You shouldn't take it so hard
Oh, you shouldn't take it so hard
Oh, you shouldn't take it so hard

You shouldn't take it so hard
Oh, you shouldn't take it so hard
You know, you shouldn't take it so hard

So hard, so hard

Don't you remember what I told you from the start
When people fall in love too much it can cause a broken heart
That won't mend easy but if you just wait sometime
I may come walking to you in the sunshine

You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard
[?] a-flowin' and I gotta be a-goin'

You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard

Paul Revere & The Raiders Don't Take It So Hard Comments
  1. D.... G....

    This is way too fast. But I do like the mono.

  2. C.... B....

    One of their BEST!! The speed is WAY too fast on this and one of your photos at .20 was of the "new" raiders, most of whom had nothing to do with this song.
    Just saying......

    C.... B....

    Go to: Settings ==> Playback speed ==> 0.75 ...and that will slow it down.

  3. j.... a....

    The song runs too fast.

  4. F.... B....

    This was released during their "It's Happening show" takes right back!

  5. D.... J....

    Always one of my favorites. Remember watching all of the It's Happening and Happening '68 shows

  6. M.... ....

    More like Paul Revere & The Speed Demons.

  7. d.... g....

    My single does not play this fast.

  8. N.... A....

    Wish I could jump up and dance!!!! But had double surgery on left hip two months ago!!! I fear I will never dance again!!

  9. N.... A....

    On this who was in the band besides Paul and Mark?? Love the beat!

  10. N.... A....

    On this who was in the band besides Paul and Mark?? Love the beat!

  11. R.... U....

    the speed is correct its a single and not an album cut

  12. M.... ....

    As someone else noted, this is playing a bit faster than the original record did, like at 48 RPM or so. And by the way, it's from 1968 (May-June, to be exact), not 1969. Great, great, great record, though.

  13. r.... g....

    joe jr later drummed for al jarreau

  14. a.... ....

    The speed on this recording is too fast; it sounds like Mark is a little kid..

  15. 5.... ....

    Mark Lindsey was an artist really. Just in his own way.

  16. r.... ....

    too speeded up

  17. F.... B....

    @borderking59 I am a few years older but I remember in my 6th grade class my teacher asked the kids who our favorite rock groups were and we answered: The Beatles,The Raiders and the Monkees.

    F.... B....

    I was around the sixth grade then ...
    Or eighth in 1968 ...

  18. b.... ....

    great song, the raiders did replace several members through the latter part of the 60's. drake was my favorite guitarist of the bunch, but harpo and especially freddy weller were super talented. freddy was a studio guitarist and belonged to billy joe royals band for a while. he knew his way around the fretboard..keith allison who took over for charlie coe was also very talented. just a wonderful group all together. as a 6 yr old in 65. my favorite band!!

  19. L.... ....

    Never saw a band replace their lineup as much as this one did.

  20. s.... ....

    It sounds a LITTLE fast, but not by much. (In fact, I wouldn't even have notcied it if other people hadn't commented. I had this 45 and it sounded more or less like this. Perhaps it was slower on the album...) I never really thought about it, but Mark Lindsay IS quite attractive...

  21. S.... ....

    Slow it down, indeed!

  22. H.... K....

    Whoa! This is a bit too fast...slow it down to it's original speed.

  23. g.... ....

    The song is from 1968.

  24. G.... W....

    This song was running thru my head the other day, but I couldn't remember the words ! Love this song.

  25. s.... c....

    I just loved this group....Mark was just so adorable....I would race home from school just to watch him on Where The Action Is. Love all the pictures...thanks!

    s.... c....

    Agree! He's still playing, and I think he's on tour with the Cowsills.
