The lyrics to Public Announcement's song "All Work, No Play" are discussing a romantic relationship that is primarily focused on business and work pursuits. The singer acknowledges the disconnect between their feelings for their partner and the strict business relationship they have established. They express their desire to treat their partner as a queen and spend more time having fun together. The song's title, which is repeated throughout each verse, emphasizes the importance of balancing work and play in a relationship.
The singer seems frustrated with the lack of intimacy and emotion in their relationship. They are looking for a good time and a chance to let loose with their partner. The song suggests that their steady job is not enough to keep them satisfied in life, and they need a partner who can provide some excitement and joy. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to take a risk and pursue a romantic relationship with their partner, even if they are not sure it will work out.

And the things we talk about we want get very far
Our conversations and discussions have not led to any significant progress or results.
I complemented you so many days so many ways even offered dinner and a trip in side my car
I have showered you with numerous compliments and even extended an invitation for a dinner date and a ride in my car.
Don't mean to bother you I'm tryna respect what you do but I caint cope cause when I focus there you are
I am not trying to be a nuisance and I respect your personal and professional boundaries, but I am struggling to concentrate because you are always on my mind.

Even though my job is paying my bills, I am willing to sacrifice it all for the chance to be with you and have a good time.

Whenever I am by myself, you are all I can think about and it drives me crazy with desire for you. You satisfy me in every way possible, and I am eagerly waiting for you to be with me. There is no way we will not engage in sexual activities, and I know that you are delicious.
