Split Enz Breaking My Back lyrics

Come my girl, you could cure almost anything
Take this man, use your power give him energy
Pick me up, stop me feeling sorry for myself
There are times, when almost
Everybody needs some help

'Cause I've been breaking my back
With the weight of it all
And I've been breaking my back

If I am strong, why do I falter?
Scratch my back and tickle my toes
Sing the song that we all know
Watch my mind become
A desert where nothing grows

And I've been breaking my back
With the weight of it all
Yes, I've been breaking my back
But I ain't giving it up
I ain't letting letting it go
But it's been breaking' my back


Stay with me
A fool aspires
To raise himself
Out of the mire

I've been breaking my back
And I been breaking up too
Yes I'm a pain in the neck
But I can only improve

And I been breaking my back

And I been breaking my back
Baby break it easy on me
Take me in your arms
Remind me, I'm tired
That feels good
Take me out of myself
