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

People 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 isn't good for my health

Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf

I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth

Wish I was on an island in the sun

Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done

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

People 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 money's harder to find

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

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

People all around, telling me what to do

And all I want to do is stay at home with you
