Diabolic pressure, diabolic pressure
Keeps gettin' worse 'fore it gets much better
It keeps killin' ya', killin' ya'
Killin' ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down
It keeps killin' ya', killin' ya'
Killin' ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down

Pleasin' everybody, know it gets ya' nowhere
Pleasin' everybody
A-what the hell do they care
They're just killin' ya, killin' ya'
Killin' ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down
Killin' ya, killin' ya', killin'
Ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down

Oh no! Ain't gonna be your boy no more
Ya' got one less foolin' behind the store
Tried my best to please you
Please you to the letter
Anything is better than
This diabolic pressure
Not workin' for you (Not workin' for you)
Not workin' for you no more
Not workin' for you (Not workin' for you)
Not workin' for you no more

Just doesn't make true
(Just doesn't make true)
Just doesn't make true no more
Just doesn't make true
(Just doesn't make true)
Just doesn't make true no more
Workin' for me

Diabolic pressure, diabolic pressure
Just keeps gettin' worse 'fore
It gets much better
Killin' ya', killin' ya', killin'
Ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down

Oh no, gonna be your boy no more
Ya' got one less foolin' behind the store
Tried my best to please you
Please you to the letter
Anything is better than
This diabolic pressure

Not workin' for you (Not workin' for you)
Not workin' for you no more
Not workin' for you (Not workin' for you)
Not workin' for you no more

Just doesn't make true
(Just doesn't make true)
Just doesn't make true no more
Just doesn't make true
(Just doesn't make true)
Just doesn't make true no more

Ooh, workin' for me
Workin' for me, workin' for me
Workin' for me, ooh, workin' for me
Workin' for me, workin' for me
Workin' for me, yeah, yeah, yeah
