I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see 
Got to make it for you, got to make it for me 
Sometimes it might seem that I've neglected you 
But I would love to spend more time 
I've got so many things to do 

Oh I, got work to do, I've got work, baby 
Got work to do, I've got to give it 
Got work to do, I've got work to do 
Got work to do, got so much work, yeah yeah 
I've been trying to make it, woman can't you see 
Takes a lot of money to make it, let's talk truthfully 
Keep your love light burning, and a little food hot in a plate 
You might as well get use to me coming home a little late 

'Cause I got work to do, I got work, baby 
Got work to do, I've got to give 
Got work to do, I got to work 
Got work to do, got so much work, yeah yeah 
Work, work, yeah, work, work 
Work, work, yeah, work, work 
I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see 
I got to make it for you, got to make it for me 
But sometimes it might seem that I've neglected you 
But I'd love to spend more time, I got so many things to do 

'Cause I got work to do, I got work, baby 
Got work to do, I've got to give 
Got work to do, I got to work 
Got work to do, got so much work, yeah yeah
