I don't like the work but true i need the money My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny People all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you Time after time I say to myself Working all my life isn't good for my health Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth Wish I was on an island in the sun Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done I don't like the work but true i need the money My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny People all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you Day after day becomes more of a grind Bills pile up, moneys harder to find Trying to get ahead money's harder to find If I don't give it up I'm gonna lose my mind Wish I was on an Island in the sun Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done I don't like the work but true i need the money My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny People all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
