You should know that it's cracked like thirsty ground You should know that I've hung it all around I've been through places you wouldn't want to go Lost some love passin' through the tolls It ain't easy to please me And you will surely tire That's why I'm leavin' No trippin' on your wire I'll be lonely, baby Now when I do retire And it's cold where you were sleepin' And now my heart's for hire Hire You shoulda known when I was thinner than your sight You shoulda known the way I held that kitchen knife And the way I was falling to the ground You found out when you heard that ugly sound Heard that ugly sound It ain't easy to please me And you will surely tire That's why I'm leavin' No trippin' on your wire I'll be lonely, baby Now when I do retire And it's cold where you were sleepin' And now my heart's for hire Have I loved enough Have I loved too much Am I about as heart for hire No pitting polish scrub
