Lyrics

[Intro]
She said "If you want my heart then babe, you're gonna have to work for it"
Work for it, work for it, work for it
[Verse 1]
I said you're just my type
You're a lover, you're a fighter, you're a conversation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, uh
[Verse 2]
She said "It's crossed my mind
But in a minute, I can tell that there'll be complications"
Yeah, yeah
But thoughts like these don't die easy
[Chorus]
So if you want my heart then babe, you're gonna have to work for it
Work for it, work for it, work for it
Ooh, gonna make you work
If you want my love then babe, I'm gonna make you hurt for it
Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it
Ooh, gonna make you hurt
[Verse 3]
You said I'm just your type
You're a Friday I'm a Monday with a reservation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, uh
[Verse 4]
I said "Then cut your ties
Send them packing on a long vacation"
Yeah, she said
"Thoughts like these don't make money"
[Chorus]
So if you want my heart then babe, you're gonna have to work for it
Work for it, work for it, work for it
Ooh, gonna make you work
If you want my love then babe, I'm gonna make you hurt for it
Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it
Ooh, gonna make you hurt
[Bridge]
I'll make you hurt
I'll make you hurt, make you
I'll make you hurt
I'll make you hurt
I'll make you hurt
I'll make you hurt, make you
I'll make you hurt
I'll make you hurt
[Chorus]
If you want my heart then babe, you're gonna have to work for it
Work for it, work for it, work for it
Ooh, gonna make you work
If you want my love then babe, I'm gonna make you hurt for it
Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it
Ooh, gonna make you hurt
