Work Is a Four Letter Word (Cilla Black cover) Lyrics

Loving you is driving me crazy
People say that you were born lazy
'Cause you say that
Work Is A Four-Letter Word

So change your life
There is so much I know
That you can do
Come and see ...

Wide-awake
And take all of this love
That is waiting for you

If you stay
I'll stay right beside you
And my love
May help to remind you
To forget that
Work Is A Four-Letter Word

I don't need
A house that's a showplace
I just feel
That we're going no place
While you say that
Work Is A Four-Letter Word


So change your life
There is so much I know
You can do
Come and see ...

Wide-awake
And take all of this love
That is waiting for you

If you stay
I'll stay right beside you
And my love
Might help to remind you
To forget that
Work Is A Four-Letter Word
Oh ...

I don't need
A house that's a showplace
I just feel
That we're going no place
While you say that
Work Is A Four-Letter Word


So change your life
There is so much I know
That you can do
Please come and see ...

Wide-awake
And take all of this love
That is waiting for you

I actually love this song, despite the fact that Johnny Marr hated it. Cilla Black cover, although it's missing the opening verse.

yeah, it's quite lovely on its own context. it's about a girl that sticks to the lazy guy she loves and encourages him to go out and get a job :o)

Without any doubt in my mind, the worst Smiths song; I'm just glad that Morrissey didn't actually write those lyrics.

I do quite like Golden Lights though.
