(cool intro)


I'm spending too much time with her problems

Worrying about what she might think

Her hold on my heart, you know it drives me crazy

And buddy, I'm on the brink


Thought I'd worked my way through all the heartaches

Jealously, anger, and pain

But this feeling I've got

It's so doggonne desparate, man

I'll have to do it all over again


I'm awake late at night

An emotional fool

Making vows to myself that I can't keep


Another know it all, lonesome man of the world

Who can't stop crying himself to sleep


If push comes to shove

Seems like this labor of love

Is just too much work for me


(Saxophone solo)

Another know it all, lonesome man of the world

Who can't stop crying himself to sleep


If push comes to shove

Seems like this labor of love

Is just too much work for me


I can't stop thinking about her

It's a sad but natural fact

She's a devil and a saint

And a whole lot more that I ain't


I want this monkey off of my back


Now, people bad love's an addiction     

Same as cocaine and cheap whiskey, too	 							  

When you're a prisoner of love				  

That's all that you think of

You act confused

And you ain't got a clue
