Overtime
Metronome All Stars Feat. D. Gillespie M. Davis F. Navarro Lyrics

Darling, don't stay too long
Please don't be gone for too long

Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
I appreciate how hard you work for me, my love

Darling, don't stay away too long
Please come back soon

Pretty baby, save the overtime for me
Don't overwork yourself, save the extra time for me

I walk around, tryin' to find something to do
I feel lost without you beside me

Baby, until your return
Until you're back with me, my love

Turn on TV or play some solitaire
I try to distract myself while waiting for you

It does the job for a while
For a little bit, the distraction helps me forget how much I miss you

But nothing takes the place of you
No amount of distractions can replace the joy of being with you

Just ain't no substitute
There's simply no replacement for you in my life

'Cause you're all that I want in me
You are what I desire most in this world

Only you can set me free
Being with you brings me a sense of freedom and happiness

My love starts to come down hard on me
My love for you weighs heavily on my heart

And I just can't find no relief, no
I can't seem to find any comfort without you here

Only until I see your face again
Only when I'm reunited with you can I feel truly at ease

I'm gonna be in such misery
Until I'm with you again, I'll be miserable and unhappy

Runnin' to the door, peepin' out the window
I eagerly await your return, constantly checking for your arrival

Hopin' to see only you
I hope to only see your face when I look outside

Listen for the phone, checkin' out the tick tock
I constantly listen for your call and check the time until we can be together again

Countin' if it's a certain time
I count the hours and minutes until I can have you back in my arms

Hear me now, five, four, three, two, one
I'm counting down the seconds until I can be with you again

I know you have your eight hours to do
I know you have your work to complete, my love

But it just don't feel good without ya
I feel incomplete and unhappy without you by my side

Oh, how I'm missing you, oh, feelin' blue
I'm missing you so much and it's causing me to feel sad and down

I know it's crazy, but I, I walk around
I know it might seem silly, but I wander around aimlessly without you

Find yourself runnin' to the door
I find myself rushing to the door, hoping to see you on the other side

Peepin' out the window, hopin' to see only you
I constantly look out the window in the hopes of spotting you returning to me

Listen for the phone, checkin' out the clock
I strain to hear the sound of your voice over the phone or check the time to see how much longer I must wait for you

Darling, baby, don't stay away too long
My love, please don't be gone for too long

Pretty baby, save the overtime for me, for me
My love, don't work too hard and save that extra time for me
