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 Peolpe 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 ain't good for my health Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf While I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth Wish I was on an island in the sun Where I woouldn`t have to worry how to get things done (Chorus) 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 Peolpe 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, getting further behind 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 (Chorus) 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 Peolpe all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
