I don't like the work but true I need the money My life is like a joke but to me it isn't funny People all around, telling me what to do All I want to do is stay at home with you
Time after time I say to myself Working all my life isn't good for my health Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth Wish I was on an island in the sun Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done
I don't like the work but true I need the money My life is like a joke but to me it isn't funny People all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Day after day becomes more of a grind Bills pile up, money's harder to find Trying to get ahead money's harder to find If I don't give it up I'm gonna lose my mind Wish I was on an island in the sun Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done
I don't like the work but true I need the money My life is like a joke but to me it isn't funny People all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
