Tryin’ to keep that wolf at bay
Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day
I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back

Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel
Boss man says, “Boy, you're pullin’ a double”
It's always me, pickin' up the slack
Nobody said it was easy

But girl it's been a long hard day
It seems we work our lives away
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet

But girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight ‘cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you

One of those nights when we don't sleep
The two of us fittin’ like a puzzle piece
Turnin’ up the heat with the lights down low

So go ahead honey and pour the wine
I'm a little overdue for some overtime
In your lovin’ arms, I ain't lettin’ you go
Yet at night we'll take it slow an’ easy

'Cause girl it's been a long hard day
It seems we work our lives away
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet

But girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, ‘cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you

Girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, ‘cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night
Girl, it's been a long day and I'll need a long night with you

Just a little bit longer baby
Just a little bit longer with you
