Lyrics
Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay
Struggling to keep challenges or difficulties away.
Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day
Working half of the day, emphasizing a long working period.
I'm bustin' it, breakin' my back
Putting in a lot of effort and hard work.
Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel
Engaged in physically demanding tasks with tools.
Boss man says, "Boy your pullin' a double"
Supervisor indicating extra work, possibly overtime.
It's always me pickin' up the slack
Consistently covering for others' shortcomings.
Nobody said it was easy
Acknowledging that the situation is challenging.
But girl, it's been a hard long day
Expressing to a significant other about a tough day.
It seems we work our lives away
Reflecting on a life filled with work and responsibilities.
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
Feeling exhausted after work hours.
But girl when I come home to you
Anticipating the comfort of being with a loved one.
The only thing I wanna do
Desiring physical closeness and comfort.
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
Finding solace in the embrace of a loved one.
After a long hard day is a long night with you
Highlighting the importance of spending a long night together.
One of those nights where we don't sleep
Emphasizing a night of intimacy without sleep.
The two of us fittin' like a puzzle piece
Describing compatibility and unity between partners.
Turnin' up the heat with the lights down low
Creating a romantic atmosphere with lowered lights and increased passion.
So go ahead honey and pour the wine
Encouraging the partner to set the mood with wine.
I'm a little overdue for some overtime in your lovin' arms
Expressing the desire for extended affection in each other's arms.
I ain't lettin' you go
Commitment to keeping the relationship strong.
Yeah tonight we'll take it slow and easy
Planning to take things slow and enjoy the evening.
But girl, it's been a hard long day
Reiterating the challenges faced throughout the day.
It seems we work our lives away
Repeating the theme of a work-centric life.
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
Feeling physically drained after a full day of work.
But girl when I come home to you
Anticipating the comfort of being with a loved one (repeated).
The only thing I wanna do
Expressing the desire for physical closeness (repeated).
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
Finding solace in the embrace of a loved one (repeated).
After a long hard day is a long night with you
Highlighting the importance of spending a long night together (repeated).
Girl, when I come home to you
Affirming the desire for physical closeness (repeated).
The only thing I wanna do
Finding comfort and solace in the embrace of a loved one (repeated).
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
Expressing the desire for physical closeness (repeated).
After a long hard day is a long night with you
Highlighting the importance of spending a long night together (repeated).
