I work hard for you baby
And what have I got to show
The only thing you give me baby
Another hard way to go
[Chorus:]
And I'm throwing up both of my hands
And I holler what's the use
And I ought a', and I am
Oh yeah, gonna cut you loose
I try so hard now baby
To bring you a little happiness
The only time you're happy baby
Is when I'm going to cash my checks
[Chorus]
If I leave you baby
I'll never lose thise curse
I'll wind up with another baby
Just as bad or worse
[Chorus]
And what have I got to show
The only thing you give me baby
Another hard way to go
[Chorus:]
And I'm throwing up both of my hands
And I holler what's the use
And I ought a', and I am
Oh yeah, gonna cut you loose
I try so hard now baby
To bring you a little happiness
The only time you're happy baby
Is when I'm going to cash my checks
[Chorus]
If I leave you baby
I'll never lose thise curse
I'll wind up with another baby
Just as bad or worse
[Chorus]
