Leo Sayer Work song lyrics

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 needs 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 needs 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 tax man comes along

They take half of it away, work, work, work

Who needs 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' Iike drivin' a nail straight into my hand

I've been workin' my life away
