I get up, I get out, I work hard every day Got my nose to the grind just to get my pay Work my hands to the bone and get no respect I know the tax man is waiting at my doorstep And when the day is done, the only thing I see My babe is waiting home for me, she knows just what I need I need sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Money talks and it's just so hard to find All the people with hands out waiting in line I got to have some for me, I got to have some for you
I wanted some peace of mind, there's nothing left to do I need sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy They say the most important things in life are free But this daily grind is really getting to me And when the day is done, the only thing I see My babe is waiting home for me, she knows just what I need I need sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy I need sympathy Sympathy Sympathy Sympathy
