I've been workin' on my masterpiece 15 hours a day Been tweaking all my melodies Till I finally find a way to Change your mind for good this time Get under your skin If you haven't seen me in a while This is where I've been All day long, I'm workin' my fingers to the bone All night long, I lie here all alone Workin' on my masterpiece Workin' on my masterpiece I'm workin' on my masterpiece Time is what I need See the angel the in the marble and I have to set it free You've seen me try a hundred times This could be the one Gonna keep on goin', put the chisel to the stone I won't stop until it's done All day long, I'm workin' my fingers to the bone All night long, I lie here all alone Workin' on my masterpiece Workin' on my masterpiece All day long, I'm workin' my fingers to the bone All night long, I lie here all alone I'm workin' on my masterpiece Lord, I'm getting tired There's a pain that I can't ease Living on desire But I'm workin' on my masterpiece
