Working Too Hard Lyrics

The whistle blows at the break of dawn
Still that evening, the work goes on
Sixteen hours of every day
And baby, if I could, you know I'd walk away

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Now a man, he does the things he'll do
A woman knows, still her hope stays true
Rise up early, rise up strong
I feel the pain baby, don't let on

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Home is empty, the road is long
It feels like years now that I've been gone
And all I want and all I choose
And baby, all I have, I have to lose

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

The whistle blows at the break of dawn
Still that evening, the work goes on
Sixteen hours of every day
And baby, if I could, you know I'd walk away

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Now a man, he does the things he'll do
A woman knows, still her hope stays true
Rise up early, rise up strong
I feel the pain baby, don't let on

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Home is empty, the road is long
It feels like years now that I've been gone
And all I want and all I choose
And baby, all I have, I have to lose

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
