My eyes are closed
And I've nothing more to say
But I was so willing to give it all away
And what a show
I've loved you all I could
When will I see you, is nothing understood?
You thought I was stupid, but now I stop at nothing
(I stop at nothing)
I thought you were better, but love's gonna take a man
Yeah love's gonna take a man
Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride
Heaven only knows
At your every turn a scandal
But how does it suit you
When it's all too much to cope with?
You thought I was nothing before you stepped into my life
(Stepped into my life)
I thought you were clever, but love's gonna take a man
And you haven't got it in you
Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride
Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride
Don't say your love is killing me
You know how much it means to me
I too have feelings deep inside
But would not hurt your foolish pride
(repeat)The alarm clock crowed an hour ago
I'm already running behind
If this one-eyed Ford doesn't start
I'm never going to make it on time
Show up late just once more
The boss said he'd dock my pay
I head in through the side door
Grab my tools and I'm on my way
I'm going to work
I put my big boots on
I'm going to work
I will be working all day long
Passing the time 'til I get home
When my baby talks real soft
I take my big boots off
Welcome to my steady job
It's not what I would call a career
Pick it up and put it there
Pick it up and put it over here
They hold my raise up to keep costs down
And then they raise the price
The squeaky wheel is spinning around
I'm running like one of those mice
CHORUS
Pay day comes once a week
A day that I never miss
Run to the bank, cash my check
Got my money clutched in my fist
One for you, one for me
One for my Uncle Sam
One for a ticket for the lottery
It's all part of my plan
CHORUS
