When we first met, we were in love
I was an older man
I couldn't understand what you saw in me
I barely had a dime
And as time went by you were losing touch
You made clear to me
I've lived my life as a decent man according to me
Never able to do the right thing according to you
I gave you me
You took a piece and made something sweet
Of all our mistakes
That's the one that so innocently
Will carry part of me
Like it or not like it or not
I've lived my life as a decent man according to me
Never able to do the right thing according to you
And I don't mind if the dust the dust accumulates
I've worked really hard doesn't bother me much
I'm proud of all the dirt beneath these very nails
I'm a working man doesn't bother me much
And I don't care if you hate me now
We'll have to agree
There's a new life among us now
And she needs you and me she needs you and me
And I don't mind if the dust, the dust accumulates
I've worked really hard, doesn't bother me much
I'm proud of all the dirt beneath these very nails
I'm a working man doesn't bother me
Doesn't bother me
