Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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, yeah [Chorus] Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories (Don't give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life (Oh no no) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me (Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way that I treat my wife [Verse 2] 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 Oh, just to kill this nagging doubt [Pre-Chorus] 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 While I persist I'm putting out the fire [Chorus] Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories (Don't give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, just a few well chosen words (Oh no no) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, 'cause you're still the woman of a working man (Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, you've got the heart of a working girl (Mmm) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories (Don't give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life (Oh no no) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me (Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I treat my wife (Oh) (Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh) (Don't give me no hard luck story) (Oh no no) (Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story) Oh, ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories (Don't give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life (Oh no no) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me (Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story) Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I treat my wife (Ooh) [Outro] Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ah Ooh-ee-ooh-ee Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee Ooh
