(Snore.....)

Hey man wake up wake up wake up what's wrong

Oh man don't you know your woman is gone

Gone gone where

Man all you got in bed next to you is a wig

A wig what you talkin' bout man

Oh man you been sleepin' on the job

Lord have mercy

I should been holdin' her tight

Squeeze 'n every night

But I was out runnin' around yeah

Showing nothing but neglect

Givin' no respect

Till she finally put me down

I got caught

Sleepin' on the job, sleepin' on the job

Caused me to lose my years yeah

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

All that she left was a wig

Well man you know

You win some and you loose some

Yeah guess you're right man

But you know brother

If losin' would make you king

You would own everything

Right on brother

I stayed out all night long

And when i get home

I fall dead asleep yeah

She shook me two three times

But I paid her no mind

Till she finally put me down

I got caught

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

Caused me to lose my years yeah

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

All that you left was a wig

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

Didn't know what was goin' on yeah

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

Next thing I know she was gone

Than I stayed out all night long

Every night I get home

I fall dead asleep yeah

She shook me two three times

But I paid her no mind

Till she finally put me down

I got caught

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

Cause me to lose my good thing yeah

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

Now I ain't got a thing

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job

Didn't know what was goin' on yeah

Sleepin' on the job sleepin' on the job
