I got home about three A.M.,
Working my fingers to the bone
My woman's waiting up for me
Gonna put me through the third degree
"Where you been? Who you seen?"
Is all she wants to know
I can't lie to save my life
'Cause I got nothin' to hide
Let me tell you what's been on my mind
You been in the city again
I ain't lyin', baby, I saw you on your high horse
Walkin' along like you didn't belong
To any self-respecting man
Is that the way you're gonna repay
All the love that I've given to you?
It's a wind-up, wind-up
Wind up accusin' me. (Repeat)
Wind me up
Maybe we should start all over again -
That's the best advice
Meet me halfway, and I'll be there -
I been there so long, and now I'm coming home for rest
I'm OK, how about you?
Everything I said, baby, was true
We only got ourselves to blame -
Makin' our bed is just a part of the game
It's a wind-up, wind-up
Wind up accusin' me
Baby, it's a wind-up, wind-up
Wind-up for you and me. (Repeat)
You want me, you want me to be
You gotta stop what you do
Wind-up, wind-up
I don't need no more of your lies
Wind-up, wind-up
I gotta stop now
Wind-up, wind-up
