Save The Overtime (For Me)

(álbum: Visions - 1983)

Darling, don't stay too long
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
Darling, don't stay away too long
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me

I walk around, trying to find something to do
Baby, until your return
Turn on TV or play some solitaire
It does the job for a while

But nothing takes the place of you
Just ain't no substitute
'Cause you're all that I want in me
Only you can set me free

Darling, don't stay too long
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
Darling, don't stay away too long
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me

My love starts to come down hard on me
And I just can't find no relief, no
Only until I see your face again
I'm gonna be in such misery

Running to the door, peeping out the window
Hoping to see only you
Listen for the phone, checking out the tick tock
Counting if it's a certain time
Hear me now, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Darling, don't stay too long
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
Darling, baby, don't stay away too long
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me, for me

Baby, baby, save the overtime
Save the overtime

I know you have your eight hours to do
But it just don't feel good without ya
Oh, how I'm missing you, oh, feeling blue

I know it's crazy, but I, I walk around
Trying to find something else to do
Pretty baby, until your return
Turning on the TV, or play some solitaire
Does the job for a while

Find yourself running to the door
Peeping out the window, hoping to see only you
Listen for the phone, checking out the clock
Counting if it's a certain time
Hear me now, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Darling, don't stay too long
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
Darling, don't stay away too long
Pretty baby, save the overtime for me

Darling, don't stay too long
Pretty baby, I know you're working hard for me
Darling, don't stay away too long
