Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm takin' care of business, woman, can't you see?

I gotta make it for you and I gotta make it for me

Whoa, sometimes it seems, girl, I'm neglecting you

Whoa, I'd love to spend more time

I got so many things to do, whoa

[Chorus]

I, I, I got work to do

I got work, baby

I got work to do

I got a job, baby

I got work to do

I got work to do

I got work to do

Said, I got work to do

I got work to do

[Verse 2]

Whoa, I'm out here tryin' to make it

Woman, can't you see?

Oh, it takes a lotta money to make it

Let's talk truthfully

Keep your love life burnin'

And a little food hot in my plate

You might as well get used to

Me coming home a little late

[Chorus]

Oh, I, I, I got work to do

I got a job, baby

I got work to do

I got work to do

I got work to do

I got work to do

I got work to do

I got work to do

I got work to do

[Verse 3]

I'm takin' care of business, woman, can't you see?

I gotta make it for you

Gotta make it for me

Don't wanna make you feel

I'm knick-knackin' you

Love to spend more time

Whoa, but I got so many things to do, whoa

[Chorus]

I, I, I, I got work to do

I got work ,baby

I got work to do

I got a job, baby

I got work to do

Well, I got work to do

I got work to do

Everybody's got work to do

I got work to do

Whew, hoo-hoo

[Outro]

Oh, so much work, babe

Oh, I got work

Oh, so much work, babe

Oh, I got work to do

I got work

Oh, I got work, babe
