I’m A Telling You Lyrics By Jerry Butler

    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you

    i got up i go to work
    i try real hard to do my job
    but before the day is done
    i find out i done something wrong

    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    days are getting longer and
    my nights are getting shorter
    and my way gets darker
    and my work gets harder

    now when i get home
    the wife is mad
    the little girl
    she’s feeling bad

    little junior
    he’s got the blues
    says he needs a
    pair of baseball shoes

    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    days are getting longer and
    my nights are getting shorter
    and my way gets darker
    and my work gets harder

    now in everything that i do
    i’m trying to make
    one dream come true

    and maybe someday
    lord i’ll find
    satisfaction and
    peace of mind

    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    i’m a telling you
    days are getting longer and
    my nights are getting shorter
    and my way gets darker
    and my work gets harder
