Well i give it little care

Does anybody out there even know

I'm in here?

I just keep my movement going

Somewhere

Like playing in the background baby

Like playing in the background baby

I play the game

You play the way that most men would choose

I'm surprised at you

Way back in the middle of a broken down love affair

You and i found each other

And we fell in love

I ain't never met a man and woman get along better

Than you and i when get together

Still i say

I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

Don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

Don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

Not if it makes me cry

No no

See the lady walking down the street

She's got on high heel shoes

And her hair full of curlers

She's got stiletto nails

And some black mascara

She's got a push up and a pick up

I tell you that girl's working overtime

I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

Don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

Not if it makes me cry

No no no no no no

I don't wanna work

I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work it if makes me cry

Spent last night

Talking to myself in bed

Wondering why i do this over

Over and over again

I don't know

I, i, i, i don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard

Not when it makes me cry

I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work not that hard

I don't wanna work it it makes me cry

I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work not that hard

I don't wanna work if it makes me cry
