Work
Kelly Rowland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This ain't go be easy, uh
You got it, you got it
Put it in

Tables turned into a situation
Now you standing in my face and you been patiently waiting
Fumbling over words, forget the conversation
Thinking maybe we could make the combination
Want to see me lose my breathe, want to hear me moan
Better be ready, will and able when we get along
You was talking tough up on in the telephone
So you better put it in when we get it on

No turning back from this party
Put you through enough to come play (hey)
And is not no coming down from this high
My love Do not go nowhere less I say

Look at what you got yourself into
Best take advantage, be all that you can be
Best take advantage, see all that you can see
'Cause this could be a less opportunity that would not be

Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it
Don't come around, keep on letting me down
You got to get it all the way in, I want to see you work

Now you looking like you looking for an explanation
Is the curve on my body for you motivation?
Skip the petty needs, no time for complication
Use both hands to make sure I reach my destination
Better leave a good impression fore you hit the door
'Cause you Do not want me talking about your business on the low
You show it off, I had to fit you in my schedule
So you better put it on me when It is time to go

No turning back from this party
Put you through enough to come play (hey)
And is not no coming down from this high
My love don't go nowhere less I say

Look at what you got yourself into
Best take advantage, be all that you can be
Best take advantage, see all that you can see
'Cause this could be a less opportunity that won't be

Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it

You got to get it all the way in, I want to see you work

I is not excepting no excuses, baby (no)
Do not brag about it if you useless baby (no)
You better blow me away, make a girl want to stay
At your spot for another round

Overall Meaning

The Kelly Rowland song Work expresses the singer's desire for a passionate physical encounter with a partner. The song begins with Kelly acknowledging that the physical encounter she is looking for might not come easily. She then speaks to her potential partner, saying that they must be prepared to put in the work to make the encounter happen. The song's title "Work" is a euphemism for sex, and Kelly uses the term creatively throughout the song.


Kelly then goes on to challenge her partner to use all of their abilities to make the encounter as enjoyable as possible. She mentions that they have both been waiting for this moment and need to take advantage of the opportunity they finally have. Kelly warns her partner that they better not disappoint her because, in the end, it could reflect on them in a negative way. The second verse mentions that Kelly is counting on her partner to really impress her and satisfy her needs. The repetition of the commands to "put it in" and "get it" throughout the song serves to remind listeners of the song's overall message - that passion and effort are necessary for a successful physical encounter.
