Hard Luck Story Lyrics

[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]
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, yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories
(Don't give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life
(Oh no no)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me
(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, 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
Oh, just to kill this nagging doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
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]
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories
(Don't give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, just a few well chosen words
(Oh no no)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, 'cause you're still the woman of a working man
(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, you've got the heart of a working girl (Mmm)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories
(Don't give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life
(Oh no no)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me
(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I treat my wife (Oh)
(Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh)
(Don't give me no hard luck story)
(Oh no no)
(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)
Oh, ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, all you hear are hard luck stories
(Don't give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the ways I look at life
(Oh no no)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I think the world treats me
(Don't give me those, don't you give me no hard luck story)
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh, and the way I treat my wife (Ooh)

[Outro]
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ah
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee
Ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee
Ooh
