I'm the overtime man, girls

Where his love stop

Mine begin, oh

I'm the overtime man

And I don't mind puttin' the hours in

All you dudes, I'm warnin' you

You better see your old lady

All the way through

Stop gettin' what you want

And leavin' her uptight

Or I'll see that she get it

Her love right's

When you stumble and fall

Down on the job

I'm the one who sees

That her problem is solved, Lord!

I'm the overtime man-a

Where your love stop, mine begin

Lord, have mercy

I'm the overtime man, ya'all

And I don't mind puttin' the hours in

Listen, I'm Sheriff from sweetback

Rolled into one

Satisfaction guaranteed or get a refund

I'm a bad, bad, undercover cat

Girl, get your pencil

And make the note of that

When his motor stop a-runnin'

He pulls over to the curb

I'll be steady rollin' baby

Using my reserve

Lord, I'm an overtime man, ya'all

Where your love stop, mine begin

Lord have mercy

<horns, bass & instrumental>

Overtime man, ya'all

Takes care of homework that's undone

The overtime man, yeah

Lord!

Will add your woman to his run

All you dudes

Tryin' to kill to birds with one stone

Throwin' your love in the street

And bring the leftovers home

You're invitin' me

To your residence

I'll be gettin' the joy, brother

While you're payin' the rent

While you're out in the street

Havin' yourself a ball

I'll be steady makin' my

Regular house calls, Lord!

'Cause I'm the overtime man, fellas

Where your love stop, mine begin

Listen

'Cause I'm the overtime man

Lord, I'm the long distance man

FADES-

I got more love

Tender love

The moment you leave.
