Been working a long long time
See her in the news
Calling her on her crime
But she can't refuse
Cause she'd quit it if she could
Knowing that she should
But admitted she's alright
Gotta keep the fight on
Ooh, and so she cries
Through weary eyes, we see
I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I'll love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there...
Been working a long long day
Now it's getting dark
April is on the way
See you in the park
Cause she'd make it if she could
Knowing that she should
But she's taken up above
People fall in love, oh
Ooh, and so she cries
Through wary eyes, we see
I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I'll love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there
I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I'll love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there...
