I feel like I've been cheated
Conned away from your embrace
Distracted by my many tasks
From gazing at your face
Money rules my life my love
But cannot own my heart
Yet diligence, my constant bane
Keeps us ever apart
Your eyes are worth more
Than my weekly stipend
Your touch and your warmth
Bring about tension's end
I work hard everyday
Burning down the constant hours
Until my time is done
And their time will now be ours
