I work so hard to win myself a place in life   And leave behind the slums and poverty   Now I have wealth, a fancy home, a pretty wife   She loves the ground I walk on but she don't love me      You like the places that I take you, don't you girl?   At last you were where you've always longed to be   You're very much at home here in this kind of world   You love the ground I walk on but you don't love me      And I know just what would happen   If there came a dawn   That I was broken down and out   I'd reach and you'd be gone      Don't worry girl, that kind of dawn will never come   You'll always have the things you want from me   But it's so sad to know that when we're all alone   You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me      You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me
