My lady left me, my boss gives me no break   What I take home alone, the landlord come and take   Take away the pain, take away the tears   And we've had a past too long to stretch out so few years      These years have not been kind to you   These years have not been kind to me   Why do I work to buy me time to   Pick up the pieces...      Working woman, I've been led astray   I'm never gonna leave again   Our hearts are one, our heads are two   Your strong arms for me, my strong arms for you      These years have not been kind to you   These years have not been kind to me   Why do I work to buy me time to   Pick up the pieces...      Why do I work to buy me time   She works for me to   Pick up the pieces...
