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, you're pullin' a double"

It's always me, pickin' up the slack

Nobody said it was easy



But girl it's been a long hard 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 when 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

Yet at night we'll take it slow an' easy



'Cause girl it's been a long hard 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



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



Just a little bit longer baby

Just a little bit longer with you
