[Verse 1]
Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
'Cause your woman's out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around

[Chorus]
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like a castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just thе same

[Chorus]
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yеah
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like a castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same

[Chorus]
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

[Outro]
(I'm a fool) I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
(I'm a fool) I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah...
