Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day I'm bustin' it, breakin' my back Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel Boss man says "boy your pullin; a double" It's always me pickin' up the slack Nobody said it was easy chorus But girl it's been a hard long 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 hard day is a long night with you One of those nights where 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 Yeah tonight we'll take it slow and easy Repeat Chorus Girl when I come home to you The only thing I wanna do Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
