 There's too  much work today
And  I don't want  to do anything  today
No,  I don't want  to
 But the barn  out there needs maintenance
 And I  ain't got the patience
 I think  I'd rather sit  and watch it burn
 Wait  right here, baby,  'til you  return
All  our friends come back,  they annoy  me
 They try  to get me high,  but they destroy  me
 They think  they do me service
 But they  just make me nervous
 What  goes on ain't nobody's  concern
 I'll tell  you everything  when you  return
 And I  can't stand  it here
 If you're  not standing  here
 I can't  keep it together
 I can't  be brave forever
 You know  not how a man  like me can yearn
 I'll keep  you by my side  when you  return
I  can't stand  it here
 If you're  not standing  here
 I wish  that I was tougher
 But it serves  me right to suffer
 You don't  know how a man  like me can yearn
 I'll tell  you everything  when you  return
 There's too  much work today,  and I don't care  to
 Do all  the things they say, 'cause  it's not fair  to
 Turn this house  into a home
 It can't  be done alone
 Give  me one more chance  that I may earn
 Earn  back you, baby,  when you  return
