Owww!
Da-da-da-da!
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 aching, make it feel alright
Oh
When this is over
Loving you will be so right
I often wonder
If loving you will be tonight
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 right up to midnight
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
Uh – ha!
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do
And I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you
Yeah – ah
I'm tired of thinking
Of what my life's supposed to be (Well)
Soon enough, darling
This love will be reality
Ah, ah
How can you live girl?
'Cause love for us was meant to be
Well
Then you must be seeing
Some other guy instead of me
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
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
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do
And I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you
Ah
How can you live girl?
'Cause love for us was meant to be. Well
Then you must be seeing Woo
Some other guy instead of me Ooh
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
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
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
