lyrics

Baby, what's the use of this now
If you don't like this arrangement you better speak out
Lady, why the teary fight
You know
I've been working for a living so we don't have to sleep out at night

Lately, you say I'm not spending my time
Walking and talking with you, but that just ain't right
Because baby, you're always on my mind
All the time
As I'm working for a living so we don't have to sleep out at night

Now, I never talk about what I'm missin'
And all I ever ask for is a little kissin'
When I get home from a double-shift
These old bones could use a little lift

So come on now, be a friendly sight
Be an ally to this man as he does you right
I'm tired, I'm not one for fights
You know
I've been working for a living so we don't have to sleep out at night

--

Why you comin' home acting like I don't know where you been
I know you're puttin' in the hours but I don't think that's quite it
Some nights I swear you love the liquor more than you love your kid
Tie one on now
But I'm a hard life livin' so we don't have to sleep out at night

Believe me when I say I know you're a hard workin' man
Believe me when I say I thank the Lord you're a good man
But there's still some things, love, you don't understand
One's a good wife
When she's a hard life livin' so we don't have to sleep out at night

I've been stayin' home raising your kid
I don't think you know how hard that is
You come home complainin' about that and this
Before you even give your little wife a kiss

So come on now, be a friendly sight
Be an ally to this woman as she does you right
I'm tired, I'm not one for fights
You know
I've been hard life livin' so we don't have to sleep out
And we're both workin' for a living so we don't have to sleep out
It's a hard life livin' so we don't have to sleep out at night
