Sometimes the looks I get

from people that I've never met

it's cruel

poor hard done by you

sometimes I hear remarks

like he's a snake out in the grass

it's cruel

poor hard done by you



Well I beat around the bush a lot

don't let my feelings show

'cause if I did I'd surely hit the roof

maybe if you'd listened

you'd've known something was missing

what I say surely is the truth



Well I've been working on this overtime

you might think that I don't care

but if you look inside this heart of mine

you'll still be there



Some lovers won't admit

that all the pieces just won't fit

it's cruel

poor hard done by you

so tell me that I'm blind

to let my heart go rule my mind

it's cruel

poor hard done by you



Well I've been working on this overtime

you might think that I don't care

but if you look inside this heart of mine

you'll still be there



I've been working on this overtime

what's been done I can't repair

but if you look inside this heart of mine

you'll still be there



My wanderlust betrayed your trust

don't want forgiving

all things must change, it ain't so strange

life's for the living



(baby baby please)



I've been working on this overtime

you might think that I don't care

but if you look inside this heart of mine

you'll still be there



I've been working on this overtime

what's been done I can't repair

but if you look inside this heart of mine

you'll still be there



I've been working on this overtime

you might think that I don't care

but if you look inside this heart of mine

you'll still be there



poor hard done by you
