Night Shift Songtext

Night shift
Night shift
Night shift
Night shift

I′ll be on the night shift
I won't be home ′til eight my sweetie
And if I don't make it home by morning
I could be cheating
Man, she had me all wrong
I was just working graveyard
I didn't get home ′til eight my darling
And if I wasn′t back at the house by the morning
She acting like a woman scorned
Aggravation, I'm not cheating
But I might as well ′cause that's what you′re thinking


Hell's no fury like a woman who was treated the wrong way first
′Cause if I didn't say I loved you daily
The relationship got worse, so where's the quality?
Time, fine, wine and dining
We used to have dinners by candlelight
She wants to feel like when we first were dating
I would serenade and sing
I used to tell her that
You′re my Juliet, I am Romeo, you′re a Scorpio
We'll romance in the storm forever
Just never let me go
Cheatin′ on the night shift
Night shift caught the doctor, the nurse
And all the nurse called the priest with a nun
White lies and deceit, what they breathe in the lungs
Smell of pepper, deceit, won't believe what we′ve done
D-d-done it
One filthy night shift, left feeling guilty
Wasn't what we wanted but we had to act upon it
Gone and did it, dumb to hit it when your future
Most significant other done undercover comes unfolded
And I′m not cheating
But I might as well 'cause that's what you′re thinking

Lost deep in an anonymous crush
Cheatin′ on someone that you promised to love
Said, monogamistic fuck, but it's hard to live up to it when
Promiscuity is all you dream of
Temptation is a son of a bitch
Why don′t you face him or become what he is?
Lying to family and kids
Damn it and screw it, I didn't do it, it wasn′t me
Who sly as a fox, cunning me? No, couldn't be
Oh, baby, don′t break up with me for publicity's sake
Oh, baby, don't break up ′cause of comments on Myspace
It might even take a little forgiving, more giving
But you ain′t capable of forgetting your feelings
You get vindictive, spells cast 'cause hell
Actin′ all fury, take his cash, his jewelry and use 'em for help
′Cause all he done to you was just done to himself
So he deserves to feel the same pain you once felt
And I'm not cheating
But I might as well ′cause that's what you're thinking


I′ll be on the night shift
I won′t be home 'til eight my sweetie
And if I don′t make it home by morning
I could be cheating
Man, she had me all wrong
I was just working graveyard
I didn't get home ′til eight my darling
And if I wasn't back at the house by the morning
She acting like a woman scorned

Like quit the night shift, cut down working
I stop wandering, I′ll stop flirting
Aggravation, I'm not cheating
But I might as well 'cause that′s what you′re thinking

I'll be on the night shift
I won′t be home 'til eight my sweetie
And if I don′t make it home by morning
I could be cheating
Man, she had me all wrong
I was just working graveyard
I didn't get home ′til eight my darling
And if I wasn't back at the house by the morning
She acting like a woman scorned

Mischief on the night shift
