I've Been Working Too Hard Lyrics - Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes

Now brothers and sisters gathered here today 

I got something I want to share with you 

Now let me warn you, it's a sad, sad story 

But I swear every word is true 

Now, money and me don't talk too much 

We never got along too well 

But when I got some in my pocket 

I seem to have a lot more friends 

I pay the landlord and the taxman 

And it's time to go to work again 

Can I get a witness? Can I get a witness? 

I need somebody, let me hear you say 

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah 

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I got to get just a little bit out of control 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul 

I had a young girl back in Cleveland 

My baby would not be true 

It took me a while to realize 

The evil that some girls do 

I told her mother and father what I did 

And they said, "What kind of work is that?" 

Well, they said I just didn't never have the fear of God 

They could tell by the way I laughed 

Photos 

Well, she ran off and married a preachers son 

In a ragtop Cadillac 

Can I get a witness? You know I need a witness 

I need somebody, let me hear you say 

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah 

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

Lord, I've been workin' too hard 

I got to get out [Incomprehensible] lose control 

I've been workin' too hard 

You know, I've been workin' too hard 

Yeah, I've been workin' too hard 

Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul 

Well, people, I've learned my lesson 

And I've learned my lesson well 

Some girls want your money 

But your money is the Devil himself 

But life can get confusing 

Whether you're high, low, rich or poor 

I swear when you get right down to it 

There's only one thing that I know for sure 

Before this night is over 

I'll be in trouble and I'm lookin' for more, more, more 

Can I get a witness? I got to find a witness 

You know, I need somebody, let me hear you say 

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah 

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yea, yeah 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I need to get just a little bit out of control 

Tonight my baby 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

[Incomprehensible] 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

Got to get out of control 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

[Incomprehensible] 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard 

I got to get just a little out of control 

I've been workin' too hard 

I've been workin' too hard
