Mistress Barbara Walk On By lyrics

You've had your share of fun
Daydreaming in the sun
Watch me carry all that load
Walking through a lonesome road
Working all the hours pass ends
Burning candles at both hands
I'm barely hanging on
And still got nothing to build on

I've been working hard while you were playing
I've been saving while, while you were spending
Now the game is almost over
I'll be watching you walk on by
I'll be watching you walk on by

It's all take and no gain
Escape the life you might have lived
Did you care when I was weak
Be my voice when I can't speak
All I needed was a friend
One on who you can depend
I know you, feel no shame
And you you're not gonna take the blame

I've been working hard while you were playing
I've been saving while, while you were spending
Now the game is almost over

I'll be watching you walk on by

I've been working hard while you were playing
I've been saving while, while you were spending
Now the game is almost over
I'll be watching you walk on by
I'll be watching you walk on by

Nothing left to take
Nothing left to give away
Just another face
Come without a trace
Running out of faith

I've been working hard while you were playing
I've been saving while, while you were spending
Now the game is almost over
I'll be watching you walk on by

I've been working hard while you were playing
I've been saving while, while you were spending
Now the game is almost over
I'll be watching you walk on by
I'll be watching you walk on by
