Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smoke stack blowing, there's a fire in the sky
Fahrenheit rising up higher than high
Pressures building up, sparks are gonna fly
I know where this is going when I look into your eyes
I know where this is going when I look into your eyes
[Verse 2]
Sweet sweat's rolling down the middle of your spine
Bodies move together perfect rhythm and time
Baby, say my name, I'll write yours in the sky
Higher than a rocket on the Fourth of July
Higher than a rocket on the Fourth of July
[PreChorus]
It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job
The work's never done
24-7, it's a labor of love
You're everything I got
It's all about us
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
[Verse 3]
Only fools count treasure in silver and gold
I don't want for nothing that these hands can't hold
If you need something done, put it on the list
If I need some sugar, I'll get it from your lips
If I need some sugar, I'll get it from your lips
[PreChorus]
It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job
The work's never done
24-7, it's a labor of love
You're everything I got
It's all about us
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
[Bridge]
The taste of your lips, every night, every day
I know every curve, but it's never the same
If love is a fire, I'd go down in those flames
I wanna die in your arms, hearing you say my name
I wanna die in your arms, hearing you say my name
I wanna die in your arms, hearing you say my name
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job
The work's never done
24-7, it's a labor of love
You're everything I got
It's all about us
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job
The work's never done
24-7, it's a labor of love
Give everything I got
I can't get enough
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Baby, this ain't working, it's a labor of love
