lyrics

Hey, hey!
Oh baby I ain’t hard to find
All alone on the assembly line
I ain’t wrong but I did my time
Workin’ hard on the 9 to 5

Momma said, “You gotta take your time.”
Poppa said, “Oh boy, they’re right!”
Just don’t make them like they used to
Reliable child many miles from where you need to be

Hey, hey!
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Now my head’s been ringin’ like an old church bell
My best friend sayin’ man get well
My ex-girl she said she’s sure been swell
Heaven’s full, I guess I’m goin’ to hell

Momma said, “You gotta take your time.”
Poppa said, “Oh boy, they’re right!”
Just don’t make them like they used to
Reliable child many miles from where you need to be

Well, I don’t don’t wanna be like them
No I don’t, I don’t wanna be like them
Said, I don’t I don’t wanna be like them
No I don’t, I don’t wanna be like them
Said, I don’t I don’t wanna be like them
No, I don’t, I don’t wanna be like them
Said, I don’t I don’t wanna be like them
No, I don’t, I don’t wanna be like them

Just don’t make them like they used to
Reliable child many miles from where you need to be
Yeah!
Just don’t make them like they used to
Reliable child many miles from where you need to be
