I ain't gonna work here no more
I ain't gonna work here no more
Honey, come & dance with me
Cause I ain't gonna work here no more
The stars gonna fall from the sky
The stars gonna fall from the sky
Diamonds, jewels & rubies too
And the stars gonna fall from the sky
Oh Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
You can't tell a man by his clothes
You can't tell a man by his clothes
A toad is a prince in someone else's eyes
And you can't tell a man by his clothes
I ain't gon' be treated this way
I ain't gon' be treated this way
This time I think they've gone too far
And I ain't gon' be treated this way
Oh Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gon' be treated this way
Oh ? Oh
A million miles away from there
And we ain't gonna work here no more
Some sunny day
I been waitin' so long
Gonna walk right outa here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
We must have been out of our minds
We must have been out of our minds
You don't have to cry no more
We must have been out of our minds
Oh ? Oh
A million miles away from here
And we must have been out of our minds
Oh ? Oh
A million miles away from here
And I ain't gonna work here no more
A million miles away from here
And I don't have to cry anymore
