Lyrics
"Baby U Work 2 Hard"
1987, Madeline Preisner
When you gonna come out and play with me,
Baby you work too hard,
Then when you come home you're always tired,
Baby you work too hard
Early in the morning you're on your way
I don't know how you can do the same thing each day
work away your life until your old and grey
Baby you work too hard
There's so many things that I like to do,
but they would be so much more fun with you.
Know that you would rather be out playing too.
Baby you work too hard
Do we really need the money, to spend on luxury,
I would rather have you honey, spending time with me
When you gonna come out and play with me,
Baby you work too hard,
Then when you come home you're always tired,
Baby you work too hard
Maybe one night we could go out and dance
or we could stay home and make a little romance
all the things we could do if we had a chance
Baby you work too hard
When you gonna come out and play with me,
Baby you work too hard,
Then when you come home you're always tired,
Baby you work too hard
Oh come on now baby, you're workin your life away
why don't we go have some fun, that work will never be done
let's go out and play a while,
I want to see you laugh and smile now
Come on let's go out and play, you work too hard
