I give you everything this man has got to give
Your life is laid out for you, all you gotta do is live
I work in the morning, I don't get home til late
But woman there's one thing that you must get straight
You gotta work for me
You gotta work for me
My home is my castle
It's everything I need
But home's where the heart is, and my heart's begun to bleed
I know that you love me, that's not the question here
But something is missing, and I'll shout until you hear
You gotta work for me
You gotta work for me
You gotta work for me
You gotta work for me
Love love, love love
It's bigger than both of us, brighter than the stars above
One day you'll discover just what I'm tryin' to say
When you come home early and you catch me hard at play
I'm trying to tell you, give all you got to give
There's no turnin' back, you only got one life to live
You gotta work for me
