Labor Of Love Lyrics - Robert Cray

I'm spending too much time 

With her problems 

Worrying about 

What she might think 

Her hold on my heart 

You know it drives me crazy 

And buddy, I'm on the brink 

Thought I'd worked my way 

Through all of the heartaches 

Jealously, anger and pain 

But this feeling I've got 

It's so doggone desperate, man 

I'll have to do it all over again 

I'm awake late at night 

An emotional fool 

Making vows to myself 

That I can't keep 

Another know it all 

Lonesome man of the world 

Who can't stop crying 

Himself to sleep 

If push comes to shove 

Seems like this labor of love 

Is just too much work for me 

I'm awake late at night 

An emotional fool 

Making vows to myself 

That I can't keep 

Another know it all 

Lonesome man of the world 

Who can't stop crying 

Himself to sleep 

If push comes to shove 

Seems like this labor of love 

Is just too much work for me 

I can't stop thinking about her 

It's a sad but natural fact 

She's a devil and a saint 

And a whole lot more that I ain't 

I want this monkey 

Off of my back 

Now, people bad 

Love's an addiction 

Same as cocaine 

And cheap whiskey, too 

When you're a prisoner of love 

That's all that you think of 

You act confused 

And you ain't got a clue
