Working Day And Night
Michael Jackson · Off The Wall
Ooh my honey
You got me workin' day and night
Ooh my sugar
You got me workin' day and night
[2nd verse]
Scratch my shoulder
It's aching, make it feel alright
When this is over
Lovin' you will be so right
[3rd verse]
I often wonder if lovin' you
Will be tonight
But what is love girl
If i'm always out of sight (ooh)
[Refrain]
(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
And i'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
[Chorus]
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
[4th verse]
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do
But i say it ain't right
If i can't give sweet love to you
(Ah)
[5th verse]
I'm tired of thinkin'
Of what my life's supposed to be (well)
Soon enough darlin'
This love will be reality (ah ah)
[6th verse]
How can you live girl
'cause love for us was meant to be (well)
Then you must be seein'
Some other guy instead of me (ooh)
[Refrain]
(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
And i'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
[Chorus]
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(I'm so tired tired now)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
[7th verse]
You say that workin' is what a man's supposed to do
But i say it ain't right if i can't give sweet love to you (well, ah)
[8th verse]
How can you live girl
'cause love for us was meant to be (well)
Then you must be seein' (woo)
Some other guy instead of me (ooh)
[Refrain]
(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night (i don't understand it)
And i'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
[Chorus]
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(I'm so tired tired now)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Girl)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(I'm so tired tired now)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(How can i get to you ...)

Working Day And Night
Michael Jackson's "Working Day And Night" stands as a defining track from the groundbreaking 1979 album *Off The Wall*. As a staple of the disco and R&B genres, the song showcases Jackson's signature vocal style and danceable rhythm, marking a pivotal shift in his musical direction away from the Motown sound. Released during a period of intense creative experimentation, the recording features the iconic "Ooh-ooh-ooh" hook that became a hallmark of his later work. The track exemplifies the polished production and emotional depth that would characterize his subsequent discography, including *Thriller*, cementing his status as a global icon. It remains a powerful example of late 1970s pop music that bridged the gap between funk and mainstream rock.
