Breaking My Back
Neil Finn

Come my girl, you could cure almost anything
Take this man, use your power give him energy
Pick me up, stop me feeling sorry for myself
There are times, when almost everybody needs some help

I’ve been breaking my back
with the weight of it all
yes I’ve been breaking my back

If I am strong, why do I falter
Scratch my back and tickle my toes
Sing the song that we all know
Watch my mind become a desert where nothing grows

I’ve been breaking my back
with the weight of it all
yes, I’ve been breaking my back
I aint’ givin' it up
I ain’t lettin' it go
but it’s been breaking my back

Stay with me
A fool aspires
To raise himself
Out of the mire

I’ve been breaking my back
I've been breaking up too
I’m a pain in the neck
But I can only improve
I've been breaking my back
