lyrics

VERSE 1:
Well the morning comes, it’s time to go to work just like a peasant.
And I see you lyin’ next to me like my birthday present.
Reachin’ for the telephone as I’m scootin’ up next to you.
Saying to the boss man, “There’s something else I got to do!”

CHORUS 1:
I’m on strike!
Doin’ the labor of love.
I’m on strike!
So meet my demands.
I’m on strike!
Doin’ the labor of love.
I’m on strike!
So meet my demands.

VERSE 2
I can work a little bit
Just to keep you fed.
And I can work a little bit more
Just to keep a roof over our bed!
But if all my life
I had to spend at work without you
I’d take a knife
And just cut myself in two!

CHORUS 2
I’m on strike!
Doin’ the labor of love.
I’m on strike!
So meet my demands.
I’m on strike!
Doin’ the labor of love.
I’m on strike!

SOLO (Guitar and tenor sax)

CHORUS 3I’m on strike!
Doin’ the labor of love
I’m on strike!
So meet my demands.
I’m on strike!
Doin’ the labor of love
I’m on strike!
So meet my demands.

Yeah! I ain’t goin out!
Naw, I’m stayin home
You’re staying with me too woman!
Yeah!
Doin the labor of love.
Shoppin?
No you can’t go shopping!
I don’t know what you think you’re gonna use for money!
