Ciara feat.Missy Elliot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Work
Early in the morning
And I need to wake up
Time to make some coffee
And put milk on top

Dressed up like a queen
But the realities not
Waiting for the bus
To pick me up

Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Work, work, work
It's time to meet my team
Work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Work,work,work
Sometimes it makes me fool

Now it's four in the afternoon
I'ts time to go home
Still waiting for the bus
That will drive me home
Then I see my two buddies
And they smiled at me
That's the perk of life
That makes me free

Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Work, work, work
I'ts time to meet my team
Work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Work, work, work
Sometimes it makes me fool

Some bosses are too good
Some bosses are too strict
Some easily can be handle
And some are stiff
The look maybe tough
And sometimes can be rough
The heart is so demanding
That can heat you up

Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Let us work, work, work
I'ts time to meet my team
Let us work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Let us work, work, work
Sometimes it makes fool

Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Let us work, work, work
I'ts time to meet my team
Let us work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool




Let us work, work, work
Sometimes it makes me fool

Wong Samantha For the song title Work From Home? So I guess everyone owes this woman a check since she apparently is the first artist to record a song with "Work" in the title.
