(May) Drums - Cozy Powell Additional Mixing - Neil Amor Don't judge me Mama Don't tell me that I've done wrong It's a hard business It's a hard business To make it on your own Don't judge me Papa If I can't handle the things in my head 'Cos it's a hard business Such a hard business Walking on the edge I've got nothing and no-one in my life So how can I lose again Got my feet in muddy water But I'm gonna find that road again So I'll be taking care of business 'Cos I know what I'm looking for I've been working every hour God gives to Man But I still see the same closed door... I've got nothing but trouble in my life But I feel I've got a lot to give Every day I try to build a new world But I've had no-one to build it with I've been looking for a woman to share my hopes And I know I ain't a patch on you And I've been thinking that a woman's God's gift to Man Are you thinking the same way too...? So don't leave me Mama Don't make me go on alone 'Cos it's a hard business Yes it's a hard business Ooh Don't leave me Papa When my belief in myself is gone 'Cos it's a hard business Such a hard business Tell me it's a hard business Being on my own
