Earn My Affections Lyrics
I Work Hard For What I Got
Plenty Overtime
When I Clock Out I'm Worn And Beat Down
But Still Ready To Fly
(Here You Come With Those)
Unsteady Eyes
Like You Been Looking For Something You Cannot Find
Right Through Me
Like My Fruit Ain't Fit For Makin' Pie
[Chorus:]
You Got To
Earn My Affection
Put Your Back Into It
Before We Get This Show On The Road
Don't Make Me
Lose All My Self Respect
I Ain't Desperate Yet So
Come On Now Stop Actin' Out And Act Like You Know
You're A Beautiful Mess
But Every Attic Has A Treasure
And I Been Known, To Throw My Apron On
And Scrub To Reveal A Shine
(Let The Good Lord Have)
Mercy On You
Before I Do
If You Were In The Area And Just Passing Through
Come Correctly, Come Strong And Don't Drag Your Good Foot Behind
[Chorus]
You Set A Pretty Table And Serve Me Raw Meat
Ask Me To Your Show But Don't Save Me A Seat
Say Together We Can Sail, Then Add Me To Your Fleet
The Perfect Pair Of Pants Are Ruined With The
Addition of a Pleat
I Demand a Flat Surface
Where I Can
Firmly Plant My Feet
And Stand
It's My Democratic Right To Say Man You Should...
[Chorus]
Plenty Overtime
When I Clock Out I'm Worn And Beat Down
But Still Ready To Fly
(Here You Come With Those)
Unsteady Eyes

You Got To
Earn My Affection

Lose All My Self Respect
I Ain't Desperate Yet So
Come On Now Stop Actin' Out And Act Like You Know

And I Been Known, To Throw My Apron On
And Scrub To Reveal A Shine

The woman wants the man to make an effort to romance her, but he isn't really playing the game- he is half-assing it and not really making her feel special, but more like an afterthought. She rightly expects him to "earn her affections" before she will go to bed with him ("get this show on the road"). For self-respecting women, there are certain hoops a man must jump through in order to make her feel like he's worth it, and and that is done by making her feel that SHE is worth it.
