Working (9 to 5) Lyrics by The Deele

Street Beat

1983

[Intro]
Mm, oo-oh, woah, woah
Mm-you, woo
Mm, oo-oh, woah, woah
[Verse 1]
I'm just a player on my way to work
Gonna have myself some fun tonight
I punch the time in at 9 p.m
And I don't stop partyin' 'till 5
Now, there's a girl watchin' every move I make
I know she wants to be with me
She's lookin' good, that's why I'm out here workin'
Gonna make sure that she leaves with me
Oh, woah
[Chorus]
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
[Verse 2]
So listen, baby
There's some things you should know
I think this is the perfect time
But if you want me, I'll be glad to do you service
But you've got to compensate for my time
I need an answer from you right now, baby
Do you think that we can get it on?
'Cause if we can't, there's a lady in my limo
I know she wants to take it home
Oh, woah
[Chorus]
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
[Bridge]
Girl, it's 'bout the give and take
Give me a break
If you want to hang with me
Don't be late
Livin' in the fast lane
Gotta be tough
Hangin' out from 9 to 5
Sure is rough
[Chorus]
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
[Bridge]
Girl, it's 'bout the give and take
Give me a break
If you want to hang with me
Don't be late
Livin' in the fast lane
Gotta be tough
Hangin' out from 9 to 5
Sure is rough
[Chorus]
You've got me workin'
(You've got me workin', baby)
You've got me workin'
From 9 to 5 (Said you)
You've got me workin' (You've got me)
(You've got me workin', baby)
(Said you, you) You've got me workin'
(You've got me) From 9 to 5
[Outro]
Said, you've got me workin'
From 9 to 5 (You've got me workin', baby)
I said, you've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
You've got me workin', baby
(You've got me workin', baby)
Said, you've got me workin', baby
(From 9 to 5)
Said, I need a break, baby
(You've got me workin', baby)
Said, I need a break, baby
Ain't nothin' wrong with workin' overtime
(You've got me workin', baby)
Said, you've got me workin'
From 9 to 5
Said, you've got me workin', baby
(You've got me workin', baby)
Said, you've got me workin', baby
It's you, you've got me
(You've got me workin', baby)
Said, you, you've got me
(9 to 5)
Said, you, you
You've got me
