All night and day Just chippin' away It's all in a day's work Tryin' hard to defend The time that I spend alone The TIME that you lose Exploiting the blues Won't get the job done As hard as it bites I'm keepin' my sights on you What cha' gonna do for me What cha' gonna do for me What cha' gonna do for me When the chips are down In the cool of the night When nothing seems right The feeling can take you Strange as it seems You make your own dreams come true If you try to conceal The way that you feel You're asking for trouble Just as sure as I cry I'm keeping my eye on you You don't have to tell me I'm to blame for this 'Cause what you hold against me Is what I miss
