"Never Work For Free" lyrics

"Never Work For Free"

I never work for free
No I can't give up
What never belonged to me
I never work for free
Like an incantation
I've been repeating

Looking back from the outer edge
I'm still the same
Looking back from the outer edge
I changed my name
Just to stay the same
Just to stay the same

Fell in love with a traveling man
I'll make him mine, do whatever I can
Fell in love with a traveling man
I'll make him mine, do whatever I can

Got me looking for love
Got me looking for love

A little sympathy
Goes a long way back
It never comes easily
Even a young girl knows
That the first snow lands
Right where the cold wind blows

A single syllable
Contained my history
Never knew one word
Could mean so much to me

Fell in love with a traveling man
I'll make him mine, do whatever I can
Fell in love with a traveling man
I'll make him mine, do whatever I can

Touching me with such sweet blindness
Hiding where our past can't find us
You're the vine, you are the door
Oh baby, I need more
I can't live on metaphors
Oh baby, I need more

Fell in love with a traveling man
Gonna make him mine, do whatever I can
Fell in love with a traveling man
Gonna make him mine, do whatever I can

You got me looking for love
You got me looking for love
