You've done a job on me
I can't explain just why I bring myself to stay
This isn't new to me
I can't explain just what I left behind today

She said, "Oh, this is so right
I played a joke and it's on you
I played it so right
I milked it all and got to you."

I know the next night I may not play the same hate tune
But one of these days I will look back
And I will say, "We took it right there."

You've got a mean streak up there
No, no, no, no, no
Got a mean streak up there

But I don't know what to do
When I'm not looking for you
Have you got a job for me?
Have I got the energy?
Have you got a job for me?
Have I got the energy?
