Well I give it little care
does anybody out there even know
I'm in here?
I just keep my movement going
somewhere
like playing in the background baby
like playing in the background baby

I play the game
you play the way that most men would choose
I'm surprised at you
way back in the middle of a broken down love affair
you and I found each other
and we fell in love
I ain't never met a man and woman get along better
than you and I when get together
still I say
I don't wanna work that hard

I don't wanna work that hard
don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
not if it makes me cry
no no

See the lady walking down the street
she's got on high heel shoes
and her hair full of curlers
she's got stiletto nails
and some black mascara
she's got a push up and a pick up
I tell you that girl's working overtime

I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
not if it makes me cry
no no no no no no
I don't wanna work
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work it if makes me cry

Spent last night
talking to myself in bed
wondering why I do this over
over and over again
I don't know
I, I, I, I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
not when it makes me cry

I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work it it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work if it makes me cry
