Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
'Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around (A woman, I'm assuming a trophy wife, has a guy who she uses like a boy toy. When her husband is out of town she calls him to come over.)
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah (He wants to stop doing it but he can't bring himself to stop)
Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before (Self explanatory)
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same (Like a castle in its corner in a medieval game refers to chess. Rooks are referred to as castles also. They occupy the corners of the chess board. A chess player can get into a situation where he knows in a couple of moves his opponent will take his castle i.e. rook and he can't do anything about it. He probably thinks that one day her husband is going to find out and the excrement is going to hit the oscillating air moving device.)
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Here's my take:
