Brothers and sisters gathered here today
I got something I want to share with you
Now let me warn you it's a sad sad story
But I swear every word is true

Now money and me don't talk too much
We never got along too well
But when I got something in my pocket
I seem to have a lot more friends
I pay the landlord and the taxman
And it's time to go to work again

Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
I need somebody, let me hear you say yeah

I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I got to get just a little out of control
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul

I had a young girl back in Cleveland
My baby would not be true
It took a while to realize
The evil that some girls do
I told her mother and father what I did
They said what kind of work is that
They said I just didn't have the fear for God
They could tell by the way I laughed

She ran off with a preacher's son in a ragtop cadillac

Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
I need somebody, let me hear you say yeah

I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I got to get just a little out of control
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul

Well people I've learned my lesson
And I've learned my lesson well
Some girls want your money
But your money is the devil himself
But life can get confusing
Whether you're high, low, rich or poor
I swear when you get right down to it
There's only one thing I know for sure
Before this night is over
I'll be trouble and looking for more

Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
I need somebody, let me hear you say yeah

I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I got to get just a little out of control
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
I've been workin' too hard
Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul
