Hard Bargain

I'm a bit run down
But I'm ok
I just feel like calling it a day
But you send me back to the start
You drive a hard bargain
Each time I'm heading
For nowhere
Doomed and determined to go there
It seems I never get far
Cos you drive a hard bargain
How's a guy supposed to fail
With someone like you around
I've tried and tried
To no avail
You just can't seem to let me down
You drive a hard bargain
So I'll keep on playing
That old song
Cos for all I know
It's where I belong
When the world is breaking my heart
You drive a hard bargain
You send me back to the start
You drive a hard bargain
I'm a bit run down
But I'm ok....
