Sayer Leo Work Lyrics

Work Lyrics

Leo Sayer, Tom Snow & John Vastano
five days out of seven
eight hours of
every one
I'm tryin' to buy a piece of heaven
but I'll be gone
before
that heaven comes
work, work, work
who nees it?
it's all I ever seem
to do
I'm killin' myself for a livin'
livin' the workin' man's
blues
minute to minute
day after day
wherever I go it's always the
same
I work a little longer
to make up my pay
but when the cheque
comes along
they've taken half of it away
all the work, work, work
who
nees it?
all I ever seem to do
you know I'm killin' myself for a
livin'
I should be stayin' at home with you
city to city
all over the
world
wherever I been to -- that's all I ever heard
you work a little
longer
to double up on that pay
when the taxman comes along
they take
half of it away
work, work, work
who nees it?
it's all I ever seem to
do
I'm killin', killin' time for a livin'
livin' the workin' man's
blues
yeah, it's all work! work! work! work!
that's all it is
killin'
myself for a livin'
like drivin' a nail straight into my hand
I've been
workin' my life away
