Bills

[Verse 1]
Baby's got work to do
She wakes up in the morning and has one or two
Just to see her through
She doesn't get a cigarette break
Smiles so hard, thinks her face's gonna break
She's pretty even though it's fake

[Chorus]
She got bills to pay
Nobody gonna love 'em away
It's just another day
Of giveth and taketh away

[Verse 2]
And baby needs a holiday
I'm saving up my money to take her away
Yeah, that'll be the day (I got bills to pay)
I wanna buy her breakfast, and
Get her full set of shellac hands
Act like a gentleman (I'm pretty surе I can)

[Chorus]
But I got bills to pay
Nobody gonna love 'em away
It's just another day
Of givеth and taketh away

[Post-Chorus]
And it makes me real blue
When baby's got work to do

[Verse 3]
Ashes on the night shift
If I hadn't been drinking, I'd give her a lift
It's just another train I'd missed (She's gonna be pissed, shit)
I heard she got a new woman
This one don't play in a rock and roll band
Wears those big-ticket brands (Drives a new Sedan)

[Chorus]
But I got bills to pay
Nobody gonna love 'em away
It's just another day
Where money giveth and taketh away

[Post-Chorus]
And it makes me real blue
When baby's got work to do
It makes me real blue
Makes me real blue
