Darling, don't stay too long
|
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
|
Darling, don't stay away too long
|
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me
|
|
I walk around, tryin' to find something to do
|
Baby, until your return
|
Turn on TV or play some solitaire
|
It does the job for a while
|
|
But nothing takes the place of you
|
Just ain't no substitute
|
'Cause you're all that I want in me
|
Only you can set me free
|
|
Darling, don't stay too long
|
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
|
Darling, don't stay away too long
|
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me
|
|
My love starts to come down hard on me
|
And I just can't find no relief, no
|
Only until I see your face again
|
I'm gonna be in such misery
|
|
Runnin' to the door, peepin' out the window
|
Hopin' to see only you
|
Listen for the phone, checkin' out the tick tock
|
Countin' if it's a certain time
|
Hear me now, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
|
|
Darling, don't stay too long
|
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
|
Darling, baby, don't stay away too long
|
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me, for me
|
|
Baby, baby, save the overtime
|
Save the overtime
|
|
I know you have your eight hours to do
|
But it just don't feel good without ya
|
Oh, how I'm missing you, oh, feelin' blue
|
|
I know it's crazy, but I, I walk around
|
Tryin' to find something else to do
|
Pretty baby, until your return
|
Turnin' on the TV, or play some solitaire
|
Does the job for a while
|
|
Find yourself runnin' to the door
|
Peepin' out the window, hopin' to see only you
|
Listen for the phone, checkin' out the clock
|
Countin' if it's a certain time
|
Hear me now, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
|
|
Darling, don't stay too long
|
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
|
Darling, don't stay away too long
|
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me
|
|
Darling, don't stay too long
|
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
|
Darling, don't stay away too long
