Lou Reed
Don’t Talk to Me About Work
[Verse 1]
A perfect day to get out of bed
Shower, dress, shave, kiss you on the head
Then I hit the office and my head starts to swim
A perfect day to just walk around
See a violent movie, check the sounds
But even on the street when i hear a phone ring
My heart starts to beat
When I get home I don't want you to speak

[Chorus]
Don't talk to me about work
Please don't talk to me about work
I'm up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work

[Verse 2]
How many dollars? How many sales?
How many lies? How many tales?
How many insults must you take in this one life?
I'm in prison most of the day
So please excuse me, if I get this way
But I have got obligations to keep
So be very careful when you speak

[Chorus]
Don't talk to me about work
Please don't talk to me about work
I'm up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
[Chorus]
Please don't talk to me about work
Don't you talk to me about work
I'm up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work

[Outro]
Don't talk to me about work
Don't you talk to me about work
Don't you talk to me about work
Please don't talk to me about work
Don't you talk to me about work
Please don't talk to me about work
Don't you talk to me about work
Please don't talk to me about work
Don't you talk to me about work
Please don't talk to me about work
