(S. Van Zandt)
Now brothers and sisters gathered here today
I got something I want to share with you
Now let me warn you it`s a sad, sad story
But I swear every word is true
Now, money and me don`t talk too much
We never got along too well
But when I got some in my pocket
I seem to have a lot more friends
I pay the landlord and the taxman
And it`s time to go to work again
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I need somebody
Let me hear you say
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I got to get just a little bit out of control
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul
I had a young girl back in Cleveland
My baby would not be true
It took a while to realize
The evil that some girls do
I told her mother and father what I did
They said what kind of work is that?
They said I just didn`t have the fear of God
They could tell by the way I laughed
She ran off and married a preachers son
In a ragtop cadillac
Can I get a witness?
You know I need a witness
I need somebody
Let me hear you say
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I got to get just a little bit out of control
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul
Well people I`ve learned my lesson
And I`ve learned my lesson well
Some girls want your money
But your money is the Devil himself
But life can get confusing
Whether you`re high, low, rich or poor
I swear when you get right down to it
There`s only one thing I know for sure
Before this night is over
I`ll be in trouble and I`m lookin` for more, more, more
Can I get a witness?
I got to find a witness
I need somebody
Let me hear you say
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I got to get just a little bit out of control
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
I`ve been workin` too hard
Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul
