Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - I've Been Working Too Hard lyrics

(S. Van Zandt) Now brothers and sisters gathered here today I got something I want to share with you Now let me warn you it's a sad, sad story But I swear every word is true Now, money and me don't talk too much We never got along too well But when I got some in my pocket I seem to have a lot more friends I pay the landlord and the taxman And it's time to go to work again Can I get a witness? Can I get a witness? I need somebody Let me hear you say Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I got to get just a little bit out of control I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul I had a young girl back in Cleveland My baby would not be true It took a while to realize The evil that some girls do I told her mother and father what I did They said what kind of work is that? They said I just didn't have the fear of God They could tell by the way I laughed She ran off and married a preachers son In a ragtop cadillac Can I get a witness? You know I need a witness I need somebody Let me hear you say Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I got to get just a little bit out of control I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul Well people I've learned my lesson And I've learned my lesson well Some girls want your money But your money is the Devil himself But life can get confusing Whether you're high, low, rich or poor I swear when you get right down to it There's only one thing I know for sure Before this night is over I'll be in trouble and I'm lookin' for more, more, more Can I get a witness? I got to find a witness I need somebody Let me hear you say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I got to get just a little bit out of control I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard I've been workin' too hard Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul Little Jake Music ASCAP
