We are men at work
We got a job to do
We gotta keep you rockin'
To keep your soul from the blue.
Well, we work all day
Then we work all night
We got to keep you dancin'
Gotta make you feel alright.
Ten men workin',
ten men workin' tonight.
We gotta dig the groove
We're gonna hammer the blues
You can't sit down
'Cause we got a job to do.

Don't want no cash
Don't need no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you.
Ain't singin' for Pepsi
Ain't singin' for Coke
I don't sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke
This note's for you.
Ain't singin' for Miller
Don't sing for Bud
I won't sing for politicians
Ain't singin' for Spuds
This note's for you.
Don't need no cash
Don't want no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you.
I've got the real thing
I got the real thing, baby
I got the real thing
Yeah, alright.

I got a coupe de ville
I got a bed in the house
Where you once lived.
I had a few cheap thrills
But they cost me a lot more
Than I could give.
I got a right
in this crazy world
To live my life
like anyone else
How long can I
carry this monkey around
All by myself.
If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else
If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else.
Well, I hit the wall
Woke up this mornin'
And I hit the wall.
Yeah, I hit the wall
Woke up this mornin'
And I hit the wall.
I got a right
in this crazy world
To live my life
like anyone else
How long can I
carry this monkey around
All by myself.
If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else
If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else.

People sleepin' on the sidewalks
On a rainy day
Families livin' under freeways
It's the American way
Starvin' in the city
While the farm goes to seed
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets.
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.
All our old hangouts
Are boarded up and closed
Or being sold to someone
Nobody knows
I got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
She's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go.
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.
That's life in the city.
Listen to me people
Hear what I have to say
Ever since I was knee high
I rocked my blues away
But people
sleepin' on the sidewalks
And families in need
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets.
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that kill you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.

The sun is setting
on the long road home
And I've been gone too long
My little girl's waitin'
by the front door
I count the minutes
till I hold you once more.
Making love to you
while time stands still
I may be dreamin',
but I always will
'Cause I'll be holding you
When the twilight falls.
Don't be lonely, don't be sad
'Cause you're the best thing
that I ever had
And true love is so hard to find
And we were lookin'
for such a long time.
Making love to you
while time stands still
I may be dreamin',
but I always will
'Cause I'll be holding you
When the twilight falls.
Don't be sad,
you're the best thing
that I ever had.
The sun is settin'
on the long road home.

Well, I'm a married man
Respect my happy home
I'm a married man
Respect my happy home
Don't tempt me baby
Stop singin' stop singin'
Your old song.
Well, I work all day
Take my money back home
Yeah. I work all day
Take my money back home
I ain't got time to party
Ain't got time for you
No more.
Well, I'm a married man
Respect my happy home
I'm a married man
Respect my happy home
Don't tempt me baby
Stop singin' stop singin'
Your old song.
Well, I'm a married man.

Don't need drugs,
don't want money
You come along
and shook me honey
All I want is
you right by my side
With our love taken care of
From now on I ain't scared of
Lonely nights, I can
kiss those days good-bye.
Although we walk in the rain
My heart feels sunny inside
With you babe.
Long blonde hair, blue blue eyes
Come on baby, please don't cry
Talk to me,
let me know it's alright.
Although we walk in the rain
My heart feels sunny inside
With you babe.
Feel sunny inside
Sunny inside.
All day long
I will sing my song to you
All day long
I can sing this song to you.

Daylight breaks and I go to bed
And I find myself worryin'
about things you said
Oh honey,
I can't believe your lyin'
But you tell me things
Things I know aren't true.
You have changed my life
In too many ways.
Well, I lost my job
thinkin' about you
Now there's another man
workin' in my place
Oh honey,
I can't believe your lyin'
But you tell me things
Things I know aren't true.
You have changed my life
In too many ways.
You have changed my life
In too many ways.
Well, my money's gone
and so are you
My friends all tell me
I have been a fool
Oh honey,
I can't believe your lyin'
But you tell me things
Things I know aren't true.
You have changed my life
In too many ways.

Well, I've seen some women
They put your soul on ice
They want a piece of the action
But they never
let you roll the dice.
That's the kind of woman
Bring a good man down
That's the kind of woman
I don't want around
Hey hey.
I got a woman that dances
She knows how to jump and shout
Now she don't wanna use me
'Cause she knows
how it wears me out.
Yeah, she's the woman
With the magic touch
She don't want to lose me
'Cause she loves me too much
Hey hey.
Hey hey,
my woman looks good to me
Hey hey,
my woman looks good to me.
Yeah, she knows how to please me
She knows how to set me free.
Get off of that couch
Turn off that M.T.V.
Get off of that couch
Turn off your M.T.V.
Hey hey,
my woman looks good to me.

When I try
to tell you one thing
You don't listen
When I try
to tell you one thing
You don't care.
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's my suspicion
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's how I feel.
And I don't want
The silent treatment
And I don't need
To feel the chill.
You know a body feels empty
With no love inside
Yeah, a body feels empty
With no love at all.
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's my suspicion
I think we're
headed for a heartache
That's how I feel.
One of these days
You're gonna wake up
and I'll be gone
You'll open your eyes
And see the truth.
When I try
to tell you one thing
You don't listen
When I try
to tell you one thing baby
You don't care.
