I'm working hard from morning 'til night   My shoulder bent into the wheel   I get home, you start to run me down    How do you think it makes me feel?      Your lashing turn   It hurts my soul   I start to think   And I lose control   I'm not moving like I know I should   Or feeling like I'd like to feel      And I spend my days just fooling around   I can't function,   Honey when you run me down   Oh darling don't you run me down      I gotta make a little fortune   So I can bring it on home to you   You're only hurting yourself my friend    Treating me the way you do   My hands are tied behind my back   I'm drinking dinner from a paper sack   Every day is the Fourth of July   And I'm nothing but an April Fool      Well I spend my days just cruising around   I can't function   Honey when you run me down   Oh darling don't you run me down      I'm half a man    With half a heart   I hear you laughing   And I fall apart   I'd like to put it on the table   But I'm lost before I even start   You do me wrong and it's bringing me down   My idle ways are the talk of the town    You make me feel like a do-nothing-clown      I can't function   Honey when you run me down      Oh darling don't you run me down   Oh darling don't you run me down      .........      [Background talk..   Don't you run me down darling   ... In public! .....]
