heart for hire

You should know that it's cracked like thirsty ground

You should know that I've hung it all around

I've been through places you wouldn't want to go

Lost some love passin' through the tolls



It ain't easy to please me

And you will surely tire

That's why I'm leavin'

No trippin' on your wire

I'll be lonely, baby

Now when I do retire

And it's cold where you were sleepin'

And now my heart's for hire

Hire



You shoulda known when I was thinner than your sight

You shoulda known the way I held that kitchen knife

And the way I was falling to the ground

You found out when you heard that ugly sound

Heard that ugly sound



It ain't easy to please me

And you will surely tire

That's why I'm leavin'

No trippin' on your wire

I'll be lonely, baby

Now when I do retire

And it's cold where you were sleepin'

And now my heart's for hire



Have I loved enough

Have I loved too much

Am I about as heart for hire

No pitting polish scrub
