Puttin' in Overtime at Home
Putting in Overtime at Home: Prioritizing Love Over Work
Lyrics
If they call me for me and wonder where I am
Speaker is acknowledging a call for them and expressing uncertainty about their location.
Just tell them I'm not feeling good today
Providing an excuse for not being available by claiming to feel unwell.
If they don't believe you, I don't give a damn
Indifferent to whether others believe the excuse or not.
Because I just might pick up the phone and said:
Suggesting a willingness to fabricate an excuse if needed.
I'm just putting in a little bit of over time at home
Introducing the theme of putting in overtime at home, implying a focus on personal matters.
Ill be putting in a little bit of over time at home
Reiterating the commitment to invest time at home beyond regular obligations.
If there is anything on earth I feel for me to do
Expressing a sense of duty toward personal life rather than professional responsibilities.
Its stay at home from work today and play a while with you
Stating a desire to stay home and spend time with a significant other.
Today just let the world leave us alone
Advocating for privacy and isolation from external pressures.
Because I'm putting in a little bit of over time at home
Reaffirming the intention to invest extra time in personal relationships.
Every day they get ten hours of my time
Describing the speaker's regular commitment of ten hours to work.
And I bring home to you what's left of me
Highlighting the speaker's effort to bring home whatever energy is left after work.
With an akin body and a weary mind
Indicating physical and mental fatigue from work.
But today that ain't no way is gonna do
Rejecting the usual state of exhaustion, implying a desire for change.
Because just putting in a little bit of over time at home
Reiterating the dedication to investing extra time in personal matters.
Ill be putting in a little bit of over time at home
Emphasizing the commitment to putting in overtime at home.
If there is anything on earth I feel for me to do
Reiterating the priority of personal duties over professional ones.
Its stay at home from work today and play a while with you
Expressing the desire to stay home and spend quality time with a loved one.
Today just let the world leave us alone
Reinforcing the need for privacy and seclusion from external demands.
