Such Trying Times Songtext
von Marlene Dietrich

A man I know is falling for me
A man I know is acting like a fool
While I′ll remain as cool to him as ice
This man I know keeps calling for me
This man I know is far too grand
Why can't he understand
He′s so in losing dice

Such trying times
Such trying times
Why do we live in such exasperating times?

Such trying times
Such trying times
If only we could find a reason or the rhymes


This man I knew has given it up
This man I knew has waited far too long
And suddenly been strong enough
To break the tie

This man I knew is living it up
This man I knew has buried all his past
And found true love at last
But and I

Such trying times
Such trying times
Why do we live in such exasperating times?

Such trying times
Such trying times
If only we could find a reason for the rhymes

Such trying times
Such trying times
Why do we live in such exasperating times?

Such trying times
Such trying times
If only we could find a reason for the rhymes


Why do we live in such exasperating times?
