I've Been Working Too Hard

Now brothers and sisters gather here today
I got something I want to share with you
Now let me warn you it's a sad, sad story
But I swear every word is true
Now money and me don't talk too much
We never got along too well
But when I got some in my pocket
I seemed to have a lot more friends
I pay the landlord and the taxman
And it's time to go to work again
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Petty & (Bandmates)
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I need somebody
Let me hear you say yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Tom Petty & (Bandmates)
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I got to get just a bit out of control
Oh, I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
Got to find somebody just to soothe my soul

I had a young girl back in Cleveland
The devil could not be true
It took me a while to realize
Ah, babe, well, there's some girls do
I told her mother and father what I did
And they said, "What kind of work is that?"
Well, they said I must have never had the fear of God
And they could tell by the way I laughed
Well, she ran off and married the preacher's son
In a rag-top Cadillac
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Petty & (Bandmates)
Can I get a witness?
You know I need a witness
I need somebody to guide me
Let me hear you say yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Tom Petty & (Bandmates)
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I got to get out tonight and lose control
I've been working too hard
You know I've been working too hard
Yeah, I've been working too hard
Got to find somebody just to soothe my soul
Help me
Again

Well, people, I've learned my lesson (Tell 'em, baby)
And I learned my lesson well
Oh, some girls want your money
But your money is the devil himself

Oh, life can get confusing
Whether you're high or low, rich or poor
I swear when you get right down to it
There's only one thing that I know for sure
Ah, before this night is over
I'll be in trouble and I'm looking for more, more, more
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Petty & (Bandmates)
I need a witness
I've got to find a witness
You know I need somebody to guide me
Let me hear you say yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Tom Petty & (Bandmates)
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I need to get a little bit out of control
Tonight, now, baby
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I got to find some sweet thing
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I've been working too hard (I've been working too hard)
I've been working too hard (Said all night long)
I've been working too hard (I've been working)
Got to get out of control now, darling (Oh, oh, oh)
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
You know I got the feeling
I got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got to
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
I got to get just a bit out of control
Oh, I've been working too hard
I've been working too hard
