Working On It Lyrics

Chris Rea Working On It

Oh
how I'd love it
girl
just you and me

Take the day and fly.
But oh
this job it's got the best of me

Tell you why
tell you why:

Somebody above is in a desperate state

Some kind of urgency
the kind that won't wait.
I say: Tomorrow. He say: today.
And the man in my head
well
he tell me: No way. - Keep working.

I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs

Will you leave me in peace while I get the job done?
Can't you see i'm working?
Oh
oh
I'm working on it
oh
oh
I'm working on it.

Well
they're coming from above me and they're coming from below.
Yeah
they're in there right behind me
everywhere that I go.
And my buddy
he's screaming down the telephone line

He said: Gimme
gimme
gimme! I say: I ain't got no time.
Oh
oh can't you see I'm working on it?
OH
oh
I'm working on it
yeah
yeah
oh
tell them.

How I'd love it
girl
just you and me
...

Well they're coming from above me and they're coming from below. ...
