Em7        Bm7 A7
Ooh, my honey
                    Em7         Bm7 A7
You got me working day and night
Em7        Bm7  A7
Ooh, my sugar
                   Em7          Bm7 A7
You got me working day and night

Scratch my shoulder
It's achin', make it feel alright
When this is over
Lovin' you will be so right

I often wonder
If lovin' you will be tonight
But what is love girl
If I'm always out of sight (Ooh!)

                A6     G6      A6      G6

And I'll be working

From sun up to midnight

You got me working, working day and night
    Em7                     Bm7     A7
You got me working, working day and night

You say that workin'
Is what a man is supposed to do
And I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you (Yeah)
(Ah)

I'm tired of thinkin'
Of what my life's supposed to be
Well soon enough, darlin'
This love will be reality (Ah, ah)

How can you live girl
'Cause love for us was meant to be
Well, then you must be seein'
Some other guy instead of me (Ooh!)

(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight

Chorus:
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin', workin' day and night

You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do
And I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you
How can you live girl
'Cause love for us was meant to be
Well, then you must be seein' (Woo!)
Some other guy instead of me (Ooh!)

(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
(I don't understand it)
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight

Chorus:
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Aaow!) (Aaow!)

Haa, hoo!
Haa, ah, dah (Takin' over)
Haa, girl
Haa, takin' over

Chorus:
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Girl)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Aah, dah)
(I'm so tired, tired now)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Doo-doo-doo-do-doo-doo-doo-doo)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(How can I get to you?)
You got me workin', workin' day and night (Woo!)
(Yeah, by do what you do, girl) (Ooh!)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
(Easy, better see)
You got me workin', workin' day and night
