Every day you've got me working so hard
I feel I need to slow down
How long can a man hold on
When he got the feeling been too long?
Sweet sweet mistreater
Glad he ain't coming home
Sweet sweet mistreater
Glad he ain't coming home
You shame the devil when you tell me the truth
Just like a dance hall queen
So long I've been holding on
I'm going to show you if you're wrong
Sweet sweet your kisses so fine
But your eyes don't lie
Baby you took all my pride
So many feelings can't hold them inside
