That call was from the office, and I guess I'll Have to burn the midnight oil again And hon' you know how much the boss Depends on me to lend a helping hand I watch him in the mirror, as I lie And tell him I don't know how late I'll be While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me The girls all got together and they called to see If I could have some fun tonight But you know me, the only thing I do Is go to work and watch TV I watch him in the mirror, as I lie And tell him I don't know how late I'll be While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me And tonight I'll cheat again And tomorrow I'll be sorry And I'll feel kinda dirty, 'cause I'll Have the midnight oil all over me God knows his dreams would shatter If he knew the devil had me and won't set me free While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
