Dirty Work

Times are hard,

you're afraid to pay the fee

so you find yourself somebody

who can do the job for free.

When you need a bit of lovin'

'cause your man is out of town.

That's the time you get me runnin'

and you know I'll be around.

I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah.

I don't wanna do your dirty work no more.

I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah.

Light the candle,

put the lock upon the door.

You have sent the maid home early

like a thousand times before.

Like the castle in its corner

in a medieval game

I foresee terrible trouble

and I stay here just the same.

I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah.

I don't wanna do your dirty work no more.

I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah.
