I don't even need a reason why
Your love is so right
I can't wait until the mornin' light
To get back, when I'm through
And bring my lovin' on home to you
Hey, honey don't you understand?
Got that easy lovin' if you'd take my hand
I'm a hard-workin' man
I'm a hard-workin' man, yes, I am
Just wait, payday
I'm gon' take you somewhere far away
Us two, sky blue
But first, I got to make a run or two
Bossman, he's on the line
Said he's gonna give me overtime, yes he is, girl
Hey, baby, don't you understand?
I been workin' all day, doin' the best I can
Got that easy lovin' if you'd take my hand
I'm a hard-workin' man
I'm a hard-workin' man, bet your life I am
Hey, honey don't you understand?
I been workin' all day, doin' the best I can
Got that easy lovin' if you'd take my hand
I'm a hard-workin' man
I'm a hard-workin' man, yes, I am
Hey, honey don't you understand?
I been workin' all day, doin' the best I can
Got that easy lovin' if you'd take my hand
I'm a hard-workin' man
I'm a hard-workin' man, yes, I am
Hard-workin' man, baby
A hard-workin' man
Ooh-oh, bet your life I am, baby, ooh
I'm a hard-workin', darlin', ooh
