The Main Ingredient - Work To Do Lyrics

The Main Ingredient Lyrics

"Work To Do"
(originally by The Isley Brothers)

I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see?
I've gotta make it for you and I've gotta make it for me
Sometimes it seems, girl, I'm neglecting you
Well I'd love to spend more time
But I've got so many things to do

Oh, I, I've got work to do
I got work, baby (I got work baby)
I got a job, baby (I got work baby)
I got work to do (I got work baby)
Said I got work to do, work to do (I got work baby)

Oh, I'm out here trying to make it
Baby can't you see (woman, can't you see)
It takes a lot of money to make it
Let's talk truthfully (let's talk truthfully)
So keep your love lights burnin'
And a little food hot in my plate
You might as well get used to me
Coming home a little late
I mean it

Oh, I, I got work to do
I got work, baby (I got work baby)
I got a job baby (I got work to do)
I got work to do (I got work baby)
Said I got work to do work to do (huh!)

I've got to make it, baby
I've got to make it, darling
I've got work to do, work to do
Work, work, work
Work to do, baby

I've got to make it, darling
I've got to make it, baby

I'm runnin' this thing hustlin'
Woman, can't you see?
I've got to make it for you
I've got to make it for me
Sometimes it seems, girl, I'm neglecting you
Well I'd love to spend more time
But I've got so many things to do

Oh, I, I've got work to do
I got work, baby (I got work baby)
I got a job, baby (I got work to do)
Said I got work to do (I got work baby)
I got work to do, work to do, work, work, work

I've got to, got to

I've got work to do, work to do work, work, work!
Work to do, work, work, work!

I've got to make it, baby
I've got to make it, darling
I've got work to do, work to do
Work, work, work!
Work to do, work to, work!

Work to do!
I've got to make it, darling!
I've got work, baby
I've got to make a point
I've got work to do, work to do
Work, work, work!
Work to do, baby

I've got to make it, darling
I've got to make it, baby
