lyrics

I find myself in a bind
You know it never crossed my mind
That I would fail quite this bad
You should have seen the dreams I had
Where I was king and you were queen

Now we're stuck
Our debt is high
We are barely getting by
I could do some stupid things
Just to end our suffering
Got my hands up to the sky

I need me some money
Got nothing for my honey
But my poor poor love
My poor poor love
Nothing's really working
I know you feel the burden
Of my poor poor love
My poor poor love

You always say, "We're not alone"
Others feel the squeeze I know
But I don't care
I'm a man
I'm a hunter understand
And I am blood thirsty you see

Baby girl needs her toys
Gotta keep up with the boys
And you need time off from work
A holiday to go berserk
In the lap of luxury

I need me some money
Got nothing for my honey
But my poor poor love
My poor poor love
Nothing's really working
I know you feel the burden
Of my poor poor love
My poor poor love

Someday it'll go our way
Someday I know we will be okay
