Hard Luck Story

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy

Staring at the same four walls

Waiting for the working day to end

Then I get home so wasted, worn out

I curse at you and tell you

How I've done the work of ten to fifteen men

[Pre-Chorus]

How I've struggled for my money

Sweated blood to get us by, yeah

Well, I'm tired of it, honey

Think I'm gonna have to leave here for a while, yeah

[Chorus]

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories

(Don't give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life

(Oh no no)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me

(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way that I treat my wife

[Verse 2]

I never seem to look at you

And see that somewhere underneath

A pair of tired eyes are crying out

Well, you know I work hard all day long

Let me kiss you once with meaning

Oh, just to kill this nagging doubt

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, you don't deny I do you proud

And you expect me to be tired

You say there's no future in our lives

While I persist I'm putting out the fire

[Chorus]

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories

(Don't give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, just a few well chosen words

(Oh no no)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, 'cause you're still the woman of a working man

(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, you've got the heart of a working girl (Mmm)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories

(Don't give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life

(Oh no no)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me

(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I treat my wife (Oh)

(Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh)

(Don't give me no hard luck story)

(Oh no no)

(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)

Oh, ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories

(Don't give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life

(Oh no no)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me

(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I treat my wife (Ooh)

[Outro]

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ah

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee

Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee

Ooh
