Elton John — Hard Luck Story

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 1] [Outro] 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
