Work Lyrics - Leo Sayer

Five days out of seven, eight hours of every one 

I'm tryin' to buy a piece of heaven but I'll be gone 

Before that heaven comes, work, work, work 

Who needs it? It's all I ever seem to do 

I'm killin' myself for a livin', livin' the workin' man's blues 

Minute to minute, day after day 

Wherever I go it's always the same 

I work a little longer to make up my pay 

But when the cheque comes along 

They've taken half of it away, all the work, work, work 

Who needs it? All I ever seem to do 

You know, I'm killin' myself for a livin' 

I should be stayin' at home with you 

City to city, all over the world 

Wherever I been to, that's all I ever heard 

You work a little longer to double up on that pay 

When the tax man comes along 

They take half of it away, work, work, work 

Who needs it? It's all I ever seem to do
