You know my love, my only wish

Is happiness for you

So I work real hard to strike it rich

But everytime I do-oo

I blow it all on some ol' witch

I hardly ever knew

How come every time I itch

I wind up - scratchin' you



When everything's ain't goin' right

I hurry home to you

You kiss my lips and you comfort me

As only you can do-oo

But the eagle flies on Friday night

And my senses fly off too

How come every time I itch

I wind up - scratchin' you



I dream of comin' home to you

A knight in shinin' armour

'Cause it seems to me

That you rate much more

Than a broken down

Busted farmer



Everytime I get ahead

I act like someone new

I waste the whole night talkin' big

And spendin' money too-oo

Then I sneak in bed beside you

Broke and blue

How come every time I itch

I wind up - scratchin' you
