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
