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 to 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 his 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
