The Midnight Oil
That call was from the office and I guess I'll have to burn the midnight oil again
And honey, you know how much the boss depends on me to lend a helping hand
I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
The girls all got together, and they called to see if I could have some fun tonight
But you know me, the only thing I do is go to work and watch TV
And I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
And tonight I'll cheat again and tomorrow I'll be sorry
And I'll feel kind of dirty 'cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me
God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won't set me free
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
And honey, you know how much the boss depends on me to lend a helping hand
I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
The girls all got together, and they called to see if I could have some fun tonight
But you know me, the only thing I do is go to work and watch TV
And I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
And tonight I'll cheat again and tomorrow I'll be sorry
And I'll feel kind of dirty 'cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me
God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won't set me free
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
While I'm puttin' on my makeup, I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
