Why you workin' so hard, baby?

You could be makin' it easy

You know it pisses me off sometimes

When you start acting sleazy

I'm under so much pressure

You know there's not much blowin' up

Feelin' under the gun sometimes

Makes me feel like throwin' up

I said, "oh baby, you're pushin' too hard"

You're pushin' too hard, you say, lighten up

Well, don't ask me no questions

And i will tell you no lies

We've been down that road before

And it's me, not that other guy

And i never wanted to hurt you

I didn't mean to make you cry, yeah

You always get what you want from me, don't you?

With a tear drop in your eye

I said, "oh baby, you're pushin' too hard"

You're pushin' too hard, you got to lighten up

You're pushin' too hard, you're pushin' on me

You're pushin' too hard, baby, lighten up

I like it when you want it

Especially when you take it

When you really, really need it

That's when i know you're not faking it, ooh

Hey, gonna call in a doctor

Maybe get you on some pills

But then i started to worry about you, baby

Could be the pill that kills

I said, "oh baby, you're pushin' too hard"

You're pushin' too hard, you got to lighten up

Oh baby, you're pushin' too hard, lighten up

I said, "oh baby, you're pushin' too hard", you're pushin' too hard

Oh baby, come on, baby, come on, baby, lighten up, yeah

Oh baby, you're pushin' too hard

Oh baby, baby, lighten up

Pushin' too hard, you're pushin' too hard

Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard

I say, oh baby, pushin' too hard

Oh baby, come on

Pushin' too hard, baby, lighten up, oh baby
