Story Behind the Song
Sometimes we get our priorities out of whack. Life's all about balance, and if you find yourself working all the time and not getting enough lovin', there's something wrong.
Lyrics
Workin' Overtime
When I woke up this mornin', the clock was strikin' nine
Looked over at my woman, and she was lookin' oh so fine
I asked her how about it, can we make some romance
But she jumped up outta bed, and didn't even give me a chance
Well my baby's in such a hurry
She must be workin' overtime
Workin' overtime
I went down to the corner, to try and catch the bus
Everybody was pushin' and shovin', and makin' a great big fuss
Some guy cut right in front of me, said, “You better get out of my way
I ain't got no time to be wastin' on you today”
Ahh everybody's in such a hurry
They must be workin' overtime
Workin' overtime
I stopped into the caf, you know, to get a little bit of food
The waitress that took my order, was actin' awful rude
I guess the guy before me, didn't leave her any tip
But I don't see why I should put up with, any of her great big lip
I guess she's just in a hurry
She must be workin' overtime
Workin' overtime
One thing that's for certain, We've got no time to lose
And sometimes we all get worried, and sometimes we get confused
But if you get in such a hurry, that you can't enjoy your health
You might as well just give it up, 'cause you're cheatin' on yourself
Don't be in such a hurry
You might be workin' overtime
Workin' overtime
When I woke up this mornin', the clock was strikin' nine
Looked over at my woman, and she was lookin' oh so fine
I asked her how about it, can we make some romance
But she jumped up outta bed, and didn't even give me a chance
Well my baby's in such a hurry
She must be workin' overtime
Workin' overtime
Yeah she's just workin', workin' overtime
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah she's just working, workin' overtime
Too busy for me
My baby's just workin', workin' overtime
Doesn't know what she's missin' yeah
And she's just workin', workin' overtime
Oh yeah
