Sometimes the looks I get
From people that i've never met, it's cruel
Poor hard done by youSometimes I hear remarks
Like he's a snake out in the grass, it's cruel
Poor hard done by youWell I beat around the bush a lot
Don't let my feelings show
'Cause if I did i'd surely hit the roofMaybe if you'd listened
You'd've known something was missing
What I say surely is the truthWell i've been working on this overtime
You might think that I don't care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
You'll still be thereSome lovers won't admit
That all the pieces just won't fit, it's cruel
Poor hard done by youSo tell me that i'm blind
To let my heart go rule my mind, it's cruel
Poor hard done by youWell i've been working on this overtime
You might think that I don't care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
You'll still be thereI've been working on this overtime
What's been done I can't repair
But if you look inside this heart of mine
You'll still be thereMy wanderlust betrayed your trust
Don't want forgiving
All things must change, it ain't so strange
Life's for the living
(Baby baby please)I've been working on this overtime
You might think that I don't care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
You'll still be thereI've been working on this overtime
What's been done I can't repair
But if you look inside this heart of mine
You'll still be thereI've been working on this overtime
You might think that I don't care
But if you look inside this heart of mine
You'll still be therePoor hard done by you
