Elton John - Hard Luck Story lyrics
[Elton John - Hard Luck Story lyrics]
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
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
All you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way that I treat my wife
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
Just to kill this nagging doubt
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
All you hear are hard luck stories
Just a few well chosen words
Because you're still the woman
Of a working man
You've got the heart of a working girl
All you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way that I treat my wife
All you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way that I treat my wife
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
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
All you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way that I treat my wife
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
Just to kill this nagging doubt
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
All you hear are hard luck stories
Just a few well chosen words
Because you're still the woman
Of a working man
You've got the heart of a working girl
All you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way that I treat my wife
All you hear are hard luck stories
And the ways I look at life
And the way I think the world treats me
And the way that I treat my wife
