It was full wallet Friday from a 40 hour week I wouldn't just getting by by the skin of my teeth Whatever I want whenever I please Till your love was taking a toll on me Tough as a steel brush to rust and a chisel to stone Hard as a hammer to nail and a break to the bone Hell, the list goes on Ain't found an axe that could take on this tree Till your love was taking a toll on me Never could just stop after a long one or two Liquored up loose lips leave you all black and blue Sticking around was no trick up my sleeve Till your love was taking a toll on me Tough as a steel brush to rust and a chisel to stone Hard as a hammer to nail and a break to the bone Hell, the list goes on I ain't found an axe that could take on this tree Till your love was taking a toll on me Was getting good at lonesome, no one by my side No one to wake up or go to bed with at night Turns out I didn't have quite everything Till your love was taking a toll on me I thought the puzzle wasn't missing no piece Till your love was taking a toll on me
