Well I give it little care
  does anybody out there even know
  I'm in here?
  I just keep my movement going
  somewhere
  like playing in the background baby
  like playing in the background baby
  
  I play the game
  you play the way that most men would choose
  I'm surprised at you
  way back in the middle of a broken down love affair
  you and I found each other
  and we fell in love
  I ain't never met a man and woman get along better
  than you and I when get together
  still I say
  I don't wanna work that hard
  
  I don't wanna work that hard
  don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work that hard
  don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work that hard
  not if it makes me cry
  no no
  
  See the lday walking down the street
  she's got on high heel shoes
  and her hair full of curlers
  she's got stiletto nails
  and some black mascara
  she's got a push up and a pick up
  I tell you that girl's working overtime
  
  I don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work that hard
  don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work that hard
  not if it makes me cry
  no no no no no no
  I don't wanna work
  I don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work it if makes me cry
  
  Spent last night
  talking to myself in bed
  wondering why I do this over
  over and over again
  I don't know
  I, I, I, I don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work that hard
  not when it makes me cry
  
  I don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work not that hard
  I don't wanna work it it makes me cry
  I don't wanna work that hard
  I don't wanna work not that hard
  I don't wanna work if it makes me cry
