If your girl, she's always leaving home 
She says she's going down to the corner store 
She spent all day finding the best shoes, she's standing next to you 
Looking good from head to toe
 
Spent two whole hours, trying to find some brandy 
She comes home empty-handed, looking tired and beat 
If this happened to you, tell you what you better do 
Get out your arithmatic and put together two and two
 
Somebody's on your case, you better get on your job (get on it) 
Somebody's on your case, you better get on your job (get on it)
 
(Listen here)
 
If your girl, she calls home one day 
And she won't be making supper, she got to stay and work late 
The boss calls to say "Get well, baby", lord knows she ain't sick 
Making secret sweet love, is one of her cold tricks
 
If she call home, said with that same old line 
Tell her you've been tired, been working overtime 
Don't get uptight, don't set the girl out tonight 
What you better do boy, is get your own thing right
 
Somebody's on your case, you better get on your job (get on it) 
Somebody's on your case, you better get on your job (get on it)
 
It might be Barry, and it might be the boy named 
Sue Somebody's surely moving in on you
 
Somebody's on your case, you better get on your job (get on it) 
Somebody's on your case, you better get on your job (get on it)
