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 I've been working on this overtime Poor hard done by you Poor hard done by you Poor hard done by you
