When you return

There's too much work today
And I don't want to do anything today
No I don't want to
But the barn out there needs maintenance
And I ain't got the patience
I think I'd rather sit and watch it burn
Wait right here, baby, 'til you return

All our friends come back, they annoy me
They try to get me high, but they destroy me
They think they do me service
But they just make me nervous
What goes on ain't nobody's concern
I'll tell you everything when you return

And I can't stand it here
If you're not standing here
I can't keep it together
I can't be brave forever
You know not how a man like me can yearn
I'll keep you by my side when you return

I can't stand it here
If you're not standing here
I wish that I was tougher
But it serves me right to suffer
You don't know how a man like me can yearn
I'll tell you everything when you return

There's too much work today, and I don't care to
Do all the things they say, 'cause it's not fair to
Turn this house into a home, it can't be done alone
Give me one more chance that I may earn
Earn back you, baby, when you return
