Lullaby (I Was Working Real Hard)

Patti Smith

Compositor: Patti Smith

I was working real hard
To show the world what I could do
Oh, I guess I never dreamed
I'd have to

World spin some photographs
And I love to laugh when the crowd laughs
While love slips through a theater
That is full

But oh, baby
When the crowd
When the crowd goes home
And I turn in
And I realize: I'm alone
I can't believe
I can't believe
I had to

I was working real hard
To show the world what I could do
And, oh, I guess I never dreamed
I'd have to
I'd have to
I have to
Sacrifice you
