Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay
Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day
I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back
Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel
Boss man says "boy your pullin; a double"
It's always me pickin' up the slack, nobody said it was easy
But girl its been a hard long day, it seems we work our lives away
Five o'- clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
But girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you
One of those nights where we don't sleep
The two of us fittin' like a puzzle piece
Turnin' up the heat with the lights down low
So go ahead honey and pour the wine
I'm a little overdue for some overtime in your lovin' arms
I ain't lettin' you go, yeah tonight we'll take it slow and easy
But girl its been a hard long day, it seems we work our lives away
Five o'- clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
But girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you
Girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night, girl, it's been a long day
And I'll need a long night with you
It's a little bit longer, baby, it's a little longer with you
