Lover boy

Ooh, my honey
You got me workin’ day and night
Ooh, my sugar
You got me workin’ day night

Scratch my shoulder
It’s aching
Make it feel alright
When this is over
Lovin’ you will be so right

I often wonder
If lovin’ you will be tonight
But what is love, girl
If I’m always out of sight

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)
Hard
(You got me workin’)
(Workin’ day and night)
Hard, hard
(You got me workin’)
(Workin’ day and night)

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

Hard
I’m tired of thinkin’
Of my life’s supposed to be, well
Soon enough darlin’
This love will be reality
Hard

How can you live, girl
’Cause love for us was meant to be, well
Hard
Then you must be seein’
Some other guy instead of me

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)
Hol don
(You got me workin’)
(Workin’ day and night)

Hard
Hard
Hard

You say that workin’
Is what a man’s supposed to do
Hard
And I say it ain’t right
If I can’t give sweet love to you, well
Hard

How can you live, girl
’Cause love for us was meant to be, well
Hard
Then you must be seein’
Some other guy instead of me

That’s why
(You got me workin’ day and night)
I don’t wanna stand 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’)
Hard
(Workin’ day and night)
Hard
(You got me workin’)
(Workin’ day and night)

Take it over, girl
Take it over
Girl
Hard
I’m so tired, tired, now
How can I give to you, yeah
By doing what you do, girl
