I work all day
For a couple of dollars
I work all week
For the comfort of men
Most of the time I fell
Why do I bother
When all of my sweat
Is money for them

But as soon as the sun goes down
I'll be with you
As soon as the sun goes down tonight
As soon as the sun goes down
I'll be lyin' in your arms
As soon as the sun goes down
I'll be alright

The boss man said
I'll get a promotion
Whenever I ask
Nobody knows
For years I given
All my devotion
And in return
I've nothin' to show
Nothin' to show

But as soon as the sun goes down
I'll be with you
As soon as the sun goes down tonight
As soon as the sun goes down
I'll be lyin' in your arms
As soon as the sun goes down
I'll be alright

Maybe someday
I'll get up the nerve
To go out and get
What I really deserve
Baby 'til then
I got what I need
Somethin' inside I really believe

But as soon as the sun goes down
I'll be with you
As soon as the sun goes down tonight
As soon as the sun goes down
I'll be lyin' in your arms
As soon as the sun goes down
I'll be alright
