"Hard Bargain"

i'm a bit run down but i'm okay
i just feel like calling it a day
but you send me back to the start
you drive a hard bargain

each time i'm heading for nowhere
doomed and determined to go there
it seems i never get far
'cause you drive a hard bargain

how's a guy supposed to fail
with someone like you around?
i've tried i've tried to no avail
you just can't seem to let me down

so i'll keep on playing that old song
'cause for all i know it's where i belong
when the world is breaking my heart
you drive a hard bargain
