I try to be patient, let it be
Let it happen naturally
Got me begging on my knees
Oh no, oh no
My excitement gets the better of me
Get my hopes high literally
Expectations down the drain
Oh no, never again
One thing on my brain

Gotta work to get by
Gotta work
(To get by)
Gotta work to get by
Gotta work
'Til I can't work no more
No more
No more
No work

Through the tunnel, there was a light
Just a ray of paradise
Could I tempt you?
Apple in my eye
Oh why, why don't you try?
Have my future in your hands
I supply and you demand
Hold me to ransom, I couldn't give you more
No more
Couldn't give you no more
One thing on my brain

Gotta work to get by
Gotta work
(To get by)
Gotta work to get by
Gotta work
'Til I can't work no more
(More, more)
No more
(More, more)
No more
(More)
No work

One thing
One thing on my brain

Gotta work to get by
Gotta work
(To get by)
Gotta work to get by
Gotta work
'Til I can't work no more
(More, more)
No more
(More, more)
No more
(More)
No work
