Ivan-muttaqin-290320875 – Overtime
I’ve been working overtime...... baby
endless hours night and day,
to try and keep your love beside me
but you keep slipping away.
I labor till my fingers bleed
to give you all the things you need
but nothing I do will succeed
cause you’ve got a terrible greed !
You like to love a man and leave him
Just a sweet taste that will drive
him right out of his damn skull !
when what you’ve given is denied.
and I’ve tried all that I can
to be your one and only man
but that’s not part of your plan
you’d rather take your short term loves
and toss them in a garbage can.
toss them in a garbage can.
I won’t be your latest chump
I won’t be headed for the dump
cause girl I’ve got your number
and it’s just a big fat zero!
I’m gonna spread the word
I’m gonna let all the guys know
that loving you is just a lost cause
unless they want a one night show.
and I’m sure they’ll be a lineup
of guys just looking for a taste
till you finally meet the one you want
but he’ll lay your soul to waste...
he’ll lay your soul to waste...BABY
He’ll use you like a Kleenex
then he’ll just throw you away
and you’ll learn how bad I’m feeling
when he didn't want to stay
They say Karma is a bitch
it must be your middle name
and someday it’s gonna get you
and there’ll be no one else to blame
You’ll be working overtime
trying to get him back to you
till you’re lying in a dumpster
but I won’t be next to you
I’m gonna find me
some love that’s true
Catch a greyhound
like the dog you are
take your business to the street
in some place where
men don’t know you
acting like a bitch in heat
Up until you get your treat
always out chasing strange meat
soon enough you’ll find defeat
or unluckily you’ll meet......
Someone who would rather beat you
when you say he don’t complete you
after he's worked overtime to
win your love but then he’ll find you...
Sleeping with another man
Baby, you’d best have an exit plan
run away fast as you can.
Cause when you mess
with men’s desires
you can be burned by the fires
passions cooled can
sometime school ya
Unexpected it will fool ya
someone will be crueler to ya
then you ever were to me....
Maybe then you will be so sorry
but as for Me, I’ve set you free
I don’t need you misiery....baby
I don’t need you misiery.
