I  roam the streets all night and day
Pickin' all kinda jobs at random
Don't you ask me why I can't play
Can't afford to see the light of day
I leave no piles of dirt behind
Set no chopped wood on fire
Still you're asking me questions dear

And I pretend I never hear

Cause I'm doin' it for you babe
For no one else but you
Doin' it for you babe

That's really all I wanna do

Days of labor, toil and moil

Runnin' 'round like a doggone fool

Can't seem to hit much good luck soil

Why is this ordinary life so cruel

Still I fulfill your heart's desire

Come on to you like a real live wire

Still you're asking me questions dear

And I pretend I never hear

I love my baby she loves me back

We don't follow no crazy scheme

She's never asking me for a lot

And always guesses what I mean

Bread and wine at supper time

Can't leave much doubt in my mind

Still you're asking me questions dear

And I pretend I never hear
