Intro: Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel Boss man says "boy your pullin; a double" It's always me pickin' up the slack, nobody said it was easy But girl its been a hard long day, it seems we work our lives away Five o'- clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet But girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through After a long day is a long night with you One of those nights where we don't sleep The two of us fittin' like a puzzle piece Turnin' up the heat with the lights down low So go ahead honey and pour the wine I'm a little overdue for some overtime in your lovin' arms I ain't lettin' you go, yeah tonight we'll take it slow and easy But girl its been a hard long day, it seems we work our lives away Five o'- clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet But girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through After a long day is a long night with you Inst.: Girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through After a long day is a long night, girl, it's been a long day And I'll need a long night with you It's a little bit longer, baby, it's a little longer with you Outro: repeat and fade
