Lyrics

[Intro]
Come on, come on, come on
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh-huh
[Verse 1]
Ooh, my honey
You got me workin' day and night, ah
Ooh, my sugar
You got me workin' day and night, ah
Scratch my shoulder
It's aching, make it feel alright, ah, ah
When this is over
Lovin' you will be so right, ah, ah
I often wonder
If lovin' you will be tonight
But what is love, girl
If I'm always out of sight? Woo, that's why
[PreChorus]
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin' from sun up to midnight
[Chorus]
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Hold on, baby)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (I'm so tired)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Hold on, mama)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Ooh-huh)
[Verse 2]
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do, ah, ah
I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you, well
I'm tired of thinkin'
Of what my life's supposed to be, ah, well, ah
Soon enough, darlin'
This love will be reality, well
How can you live, girl?
'Cause love for us was meant to be
Then you must be seein', woo
Some other guy instead of me, woo, that's why
[PreChorus]
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin' from sun up to midnight (Woo-hoo)
[Chorus]
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Hold on, baby)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (I'm so tired)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Hold on, mama)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Hee-hee-hee)
[Refrain]
Hee, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ho
[Verse 3]
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do, ah
I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you, well
How can you live, girl?
'Cause love for us was meant to be
You must be seein', woo
Some other guy instead of me, woo
[PreChorus]
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin' from sun up to midnight (Woo-hoo)
[Chorus]
You got me workin' workin' day and night (Hold on, baby)
You got me workin' workin' day and night (I'm so tired)
You got me workin' workin' day and night (You wanna party)
You got me workin' workin' day and night (Ow!)
[Outro]
I ain't workin', I'm tired of you
I done quit my job, workin' every day
Old 9-to-5, you're doin' wrong
You done made me mad, what time is it, girl?
Old 9-to-5
Woo, hee, hoo, hee
[Outro]
I ain't workin', you're doin' wrong
You done made me mad, you wanna party
You done made me mad, you're doin' mine
And in your time, you're doin' bad
You made me mad
Woo, hee, hoo, hee
