There's a man I know working seven days a week
Most nights he comes late home to his wife who's sound asleep
He spends time on the telephone makin' business calls all day
Working overtime every time to earn that extra pay
But he don't know that bein' alone
Is killing her inside
And he don't see that what she needs
Money doesn't buy
You've got to work on love every night and day
Don't ever let your other job get in the way
You've got to make time for the small things in life
'Cause if things are gonna work out you'd better work on love tonight
That man I know who's bringing home that hard earned dough
Maybe saving for a big vacation, but, who knows, who knows
He don't talk to her
He just goes to work and then he gets home late
Takes off his shoes stares at the news
And doesn't have one damn word to say
But someday soon he's gonna come home to
A note that's says I'm gone
Yea it's been fun but baby
I can only take it for so long
You've got to work on love every night and day
Don't ever let your other job get in the way
Make time for the small things in life
'Cause if things are gonna work out you'd better work on love tonight
All the best things in the world
Aw, no, they don't cost a dime
You can keep on workin' but you're gonna lose the girl
Every time
You've got to work on love every night and day
Don't ever let your other job get in the way
Make time for the small things in life
'Cause if things are gonna work out
You've got to work on love every night and day
Don't ever let your other job get in the way
Make time for the small things in life
'Cause if things are gonna work out you'd better work on love tonight
Work on love tonight
