Owww!
No, no, no
Uh, ha!
Ooh, my honey
You got me workin' day and night
Ooh, my sugar
You got me workin' day and night
Scratch my shoulder
It's achin', make it feel alright, uh
When this is over
Lovin' you will be so right, uh
I often wonder
If lovin' you will be tonight, woo
But what is love, girl
If I'm always out of sight? Ooh
That's why
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night (ah)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (ah, ah)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
Uh, ha!
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do, ah
And I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you, yeah, ah
I'm tired of thinkin'
Of what my life's supposed to be, well, ah
Soon enough, darlin'
This love will be reality, ah, ah
How can you live, girl?
'Cause love for us was meant to be, well, ah
Then you must be seein'
Some other guy instead of me, woo
That's why
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
You got me workin', workin' day and night (hold on)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (hold on)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (hoo-hoo-hoo, ah)
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do, ah, ah
And I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you, well, ah
How can you live, girl?
'Cause love for us was meant to be, well, ah
Then you must be seein', woo
Some other guy instead of me, woo
That's why
You got me workin' day and night (I don't understand it)
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
You got me workin', workin' day and night (hold on)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
Taking over
Girl
Taking over
You got me workin', workin' day and night (girl)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night (how can I get to you?)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (yeah, by doing what you do)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (girl, easy, better see)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
