Lyrics
I'm taking care of business, woman, can't you see?
Got to make it for you, got to make it for me
Sometimes it might seem that I'm neglectin' you
But I'd love to spend more time
I've got so many things to do
Oh I, I got work to do, I've got work, baby
(Got work to do) I've got to give it
(Got work to do) I've got work to do
(Got work to do) got so much work, yeah yeah
I've been trying to make it, woman, can't you see?
Takes a lot of money to make it, let's talk truthfully
Keep your love light burning, and a little food hot in a plate
You might as well get used to me coming home a little late
'Cause I, I got work to do, I got work, baby
(Got work to do) I've got to give it
(Got work to do) I've got work to do
(Got work to do) got so much work, yeah yeah
Work, work, yeah, work, work
Work, work, yeah, work, work
I'm taking care of business, woman, can't you see?
I got to make it for you, got to make it for me
But sometimes it might seem that I've neglected you
But I'd love to spend more time, I got so many things to do
I, I got work to do, I got work, baby
(Got work to do) I've got to give it
(Got work to do) yeah, I've got work to do
(Got work to do) got so much work, yeah yeah
Oh, yeah
I, I got work to do, I got work, baby
(Got work to do) I've got to give it
(Got work to do) I've got work to do
(Got work to do) got so much work, yeah yeah
I got work to do, hey, baby
(Got work to do), I've got to give
(Got work to do), I can't be with you
Work, work
Work, work (oh, listen, baby)
Work, work
Work, work (I gotta work)
Work, work
Work, work (and I'm taking care)
Work, work (of business, baby)
Work, work (believe me, yeah, yeah)
Work, work
Work, work (ooh)
Work, work
Work, work
Work, work (understand it)
Work, work (understand it)
Work, work (understand it)
Work, work
Work, work (understand it)
Work, work
Work, work
Work, work (whoa)
Work, work
Work, work
Work, work (babe, babe, ah)
Work, work
Work, work
Work, work (prrrr)
Work, work
