Workin’ Day and Night Lyrics

[Intro]
Aaow!
No, no, ooh, oh

[Verse 1]
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 achin', 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 (Ooh!)

[Pre-Chorus]
(That's why)
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
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night

[Verse 2]
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 thinkin'
Of what my life's supposed to be
Well, soon enough, darlin'
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 seein'
Some other guy instead of me (Ooh!)

[Pre-Chorus]
(That's why)
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)
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

[Ad-libs]
(Hoo-hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo!)
(Hee-hee-hoo!)
(Ah, dah)
(Aaow!)
(Hoo! Hee, hoo!)
(Ah, ah, dah)
(Ah, ah, dah)
(Ah, uh, dah)
(Ah, uh, dah)

[Verse 3]
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

How can you live, girl
'Cause love for us was meant to be
Well, then you must be seein' (Woo!)
Some other guy instead of me (Ooh!)

[Pre-Chorus]
(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

[Chorus]
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 (Aaow!) (Aaow!)

[Ad-libs]
Haa, hoo!
Haa, ah, dah (Takin' over)
Haa, girl
Haa, takin' over

[Chorus / Outro]
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Girl)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Aah, dah)
(I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Doo-doo-doo-do-doo-doo-doo-doo)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(How can I get to you?)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Woo!)
(Yeah, by do what you do, girl) (Ooh!)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Easy, better see)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
