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
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
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, All you hear are hard luck stories
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Just a few well chosen words
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, `Cause you're still the woman of a working man
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, You've got the heart of a working girl
(Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Don't give me no hard luck stories)
(Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, Oh, oh no)

Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, All you hear are hard luck stories
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the ways I look at life
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the way I think the world treats me
Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo, And the way that I treat my wife
