Lyrics
Unemployed heart
i say hello you say could you love me and everything works dandy.
I can work hard
If you want me to
handy man unemployed heart looking for good honest work
lighting candles kissing ankles
it must be a cloud above me
it must be things break around me
when your heart is unemployed
you fight over broken toys
when your heart is unemployed
you hear that back ground noise
please take take these hands these hands that haven't worked
these hands that need a job
all work guaranteed full satisfaction
never go unless you say so
tell me you know what it's like
to be with a man that would die for you.
when your heart is unemployed
you fight over broken toys
when your heart is unemployed
you hear that back ground noise x2
their is a secret only single moms know im gonna love you the way you need to be loved
good men have dirty hands i would work for you
i would get dirty for you build a castle for you
all you gotta do is ask me to
good men got missing fingers broken toes
Good men never hear their body grown
never say no
good men got missing fingers broken toes
Good men never hear their body grown
never say no
