Lyrics
0:23Times are hard
0:25You're afraid to pay the fee
0:28So you find yourself somebody
0:31Who can do the job for free
0:37When you need a bit of lovin'
0:40Cause your man is out of town
0:43That's the time you get me runnin'
0:46And you know I'll be around
0:51CHORUS:
0:52I'm a fool to do your dirty work
0:56Oh yeah
0:58I don't wanna do your dirty work
1:02No more
1:05I'm a fool to do your dirty work
1:09Oh yeah
1:15Light the candle
1:17Put the lock upon the door
1:20You have sent the maid home early
1:23Like a thousand times before
1:28Like the castle in its corner
1:31In a medieval game
1:35I foresee terrible trouble
1:38And I stay here just the same
1:44I'm a fool to do your dirty work
1:48Oh yeah
1:51I don't wanna do your dirty work
1:54No more
1:57I'm a fool to do your dirty work
2:01Oh yeah I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah
Times are hard You're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody Who can do the job for free When you need a bit of lovin' Cause your man is out of town That's the time you get me runnin' And you know I'll be around CHORUS: I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah Light the candle Put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early Like a thousand times before Like the castle in its corner In a medieval game I foresee terrible trouble And I stay here just the same I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah
