Lyrics

I know what I want
But I just can't seem to get it
Sometimes I feel like giving up
And saying just forget it

But then I think of something
That'll keep me going strong
I'll be satisfied with this
Until something better comes along

Feels like I'm going the wrong way
Down a one way street
But all I'm doing
Is trying just to make ends meet

Working all day long
To raise the money for the rent
Before I even get my check
It's already spent

I've got a stack of bills
Piled up on the kitchen floor
And when I open up the mailbox
I'll probably find some more

My back is aching
I've got blisters on my feet
But all I'm doing
Is trying just to make ends meet

Sometimes I wonder
Why does life have to be so hard?
Why does everything have to be so hard?
Why does life have to be so hard?

Feels like I'm going the wrong way
Down a one way street
But all I'm doing
Is trying just to make ends meet
