Business

Don't judge me Mama

Don't tell me that I've done wrong

It's a hard business

It's a hard business

To make it on your own

Don't judge me Papa

If I can't handle the things in my head

'Cos it's a hard business

Such a hard business

Walking on the edge

I've got nothing and no-one in my life

So how can I lose again

Got my feet in muddy water

But I'm gonna find that road again

So I'll be taking care of business

'Cos I know what I'm looking for

I've been working every hour God gives to Man

But I still see the same closed door!

I've got nothing but trouble in my life

But I feel I've got a lot to give

Every day I try to build a new world

But I've had no-one to build it with

I've been looking for a woman to share my hopes

And I know I ain't a patch on you

And I've been thinking that a woman's God's gift to Man

Are you thinking the same way too!?

So don't leave me Mama

Don't make me go on alone

'Cos it's a hard business

Yes it's a hard business

Ooh

Don't leave me Papa

When my belief in myself is gone

'Cos it's a hard business

Such a hard business

Tell me it's a hard business

Being on my own
