Well, I work like a dog eight hours a day,
you know I'm nearly dead.
I stop by a bar on my way home
tryin' to loosen up my head.
Lord knows it's a hard life
and sometimes it'll nearly
drive you crazy.
Cause there ain't no
pleasures in this life for me
But the night time and my baby
Well I'd like to ride all over town
in a brand new Cadillac
But all the money that I make
it'll never be like that
Money can't buy everything
like tender love that I have on the way
And the only pleasures in this life for me
Is the night time and my baby
When I get home
she's always got love saved up for me
Her warm sweet lips
will make me forget my misery
With her arms around me
through the long, night
I wake up in the mornin' feelin' right
Sortin' back to that old job again
with the boss standin' over me
Say, hurry up, you gotta work hard,
that's the way it's gonna be
The hours just keep on draggin' and
Lord knows this life of mine ain't easy
Lord, ain't no pleasures
in this life for me
But the night time and my baby
When I get home,
she's always got love saved up for me
Her warm sweet lips
will make me forget my misery
With her arms around me
through the long, night
I wake up in the mornin' feelin' right
So back to that old job again
with the boss standin' over me
Sayin' hurry up, you gotta work hard,
that's the way it's gonna be
The hours just keep on draggin' and
Lord knows this life of mine ain't easy
Don't bring no pleasures in this life for me
But the night time and my baby
