(REPEAT ABOUT 4x) Sometimes I think I'm going crazy Staring at the same four walls Waiting for the working day to end Then I get home so wasted, worn out I curse at you and tell you How I've done the work of ten to fifteen men How I've struggled for my money Sweated blood to get us by, yeah Well I'm tired of it honey Think I'm gonna have to leave here for a while Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, All you hear are hard luck stories Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the ways I look at life Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the way I think the world treats me Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the way that I treat my wife I never seem to look at you And see that somewhere underneath A pair of tired eyes are crying out Well you know I work hard all day long Let me kiss you once with meaning Just to kill this nagging doubt Well you don't deny I do you proud And you expect me to be tired You say there's no future in our lives D/F# While I persist I'm putting out the fire Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, All you hear are hard luck stories Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Just a few well chosen words Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, `Cause you're still the woman of a working man Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, You've got the heart of a working girl (Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Don't give me no hard luck stories) (Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Oh, oh no) (Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Don't give me no, don't you give me no hard luck stories) Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, All you hear are hard luck stories Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the ways I look at life Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the way I think the world treats me Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the way that I treat my wife (REPEAT, FADE)
