Labor Of Love - The Robert Cray Band, The Memphis Horns

I’m spending too much time with her problems

Worrying about what she might think

Her hold on my heart, you know it drives me crazy

And buddy, I’m on the brink

Thought I’d worked my way through all the heartaches

Jealously, anger, and pain

But this feeling I’ve got, it’s so doggonne desperate, man

I’ll have to do it all over again

I’m awake late at night, an emotional fool

Making vows to myself that I can’t keep

Another know-it-all, lonesome man of the world

Who can’t stop crying himself to sleep

If push comes to shove, seems like this labor of love

Is just too much work for me

I’m awake late at night, an emotional fool

Making vows to myself that I can’t keep

Another know-it-all, lonesome man of the world

Who can’t stop crying himself to sleep

If push comes to shove, seems like this labor of love

Is just too much work for me

I can’t stop thinking about her

It’s a sad but natural fact

She’s a devil and a saint and a whole lot more that I ain’t

I want this monkey off of my back

Now, people bad love’s an addiction

Same as cocaine and cheap whiskey, too

When you’re a prisoner of love, that’s all that you think of

You act confused and you ain’t got a clue
