Gladys Knight & The Pips - Save the Overtime (for Me) (12” mix) lyrics

Darling, don't stay too long Pretty baby I know you're working hard for me Darling, don't stay away too long Pretty baby Save the overtime for me I walk around Tryin' to find something to do Baby, until your return Turn on T.V Or play some solitaire It does the job for a while (For a while) But nothing takes the place of you (Nothing takes the place of you) Just ain't no substitute (Ain't no substitute) 'Cause you're all that I want in me Only you can set me free Darling, don't stay too long Pretty baby I know you're working hard for me Darling, don't stay away too long Pretty baby Save the overtime for me My love starts to come down hard on me And I just can't find no relief, no Only until I see your face again I'm gonna be in such misery Runnin' to the door Peepin' out the window Hopin' to see only you Listen for the phone (Checkin' out the tick tock) Countin' if it's a certain time Hear me now 5-4-3-2-1 Darling, don't stay too long Pretty baby I know you're working hard for me Darling, baby, don't stay away too long Pretty baby Save the overtime for me For me Baby, baby Save the overtime Save the overtime I know you have your eight hours to do But it just don't feel good without ya Oh, how I'm missing you Oh, feelin' blue I know it's crazy But I, I walk around Tryin' to find something else to do Pretty baby, until your return Turnin' on the T.V Or play some solitaire Does the job for a while (For a while) Find yourself runnin' to the door Peepin' out the window Hopin' to see only you Listen for the phone Checkin' out the clock (Checkin' out the tick tock) Countin' if it's a certain time Hear me now 5-4-3-2-1 Darling, don't stay too long Pretty baby I know you're working hard for me Darling, don't stay away too long Pretty baby Save the overtime for me Darling, don't stay too long Pretty baby I know you're working hard for me Darling, don't stay away too long
