Save The Overtime (For Me) Lyrics By Gladys Knight And The Pips

    the pips
    darlin’ don’t stay too long
    pretty baby
    i know you’re working hard for me
    darlin’ don’t stay away too long
    pretty baby
    save the overtime for me

    gladys knight the pips
    i walk around
    tryin’ to find something to do
    baby until your return
    turn on tv
    or play some solitaire
    it does the job for a while
    for a while
    but nothing takes the place of you
    nothing takes the place of you
    no just ain’t no substitute
    ain’t no substitute
    ’cause you’re all that i want and need
    only you can set me free

    gladys knight the pips
    darlin’ don’t stay too long
    don’t stay away from me
    pretty baby
    i know you’re working hard for me
    darlin’ don’t stay away too long
    pretty baby
    save the overtime for me

    gladys knight the pips all
    my love starts to come down hard on me
    and i just can’t find no relief no
    only until i see your face again
    i’m gonna be in such misery
    runnin’ to the door
    runnin’ to the door
    peepin’ out the window
    peepin’ out the window
    hopin’ to see only you
    listen for the phone
    listen for the phone
    checkin’ out the clock
    checkin’ out the tick tock
    countin’ every second down hear me now
    five four three two one

    gladys knight the pips
    darlin’
    don’t stay too long
    pretty baby
    i know you’re working hard for me
    darlin’
    baby don’t stay away too long
    pretty baby
    save the overtime for me
    for me

    gladys knight the pips
    ooh baby baby
    save the overtime save the overtime
    save the overtime save the overtime
    oh i know that you got your eight hours to do
    but i just don’t feel good here without ya
    oh how i’m missin’ you
    oh feelin’ blue

    gladys knight the pips
    i know it’s crazy
    but i i walk around
    tryin’ to find something else to do
    pretty baby until your return
    turn on the tv
    or play some solitaire
    does the job for a while
    for a while
    find myself runnin’ to the door
    runnin’ to the runnin’ to the door
    peepin’ out the window
    peepin’ out the peepin’ out the window
    hopin’ to see only you
    i’m listenin’ for the phone
    listen for the phone
    checkin’ out the clock
    checkin’ out the tick tock
    countin’ every second down hear me now
    five four three two one

    gladys knight the pips all
    darlin’
    don’t stay too long
    pretty baby
    i know you’re working hard for me
    darlin’
    baby don’t stay away too long
    pretty baby
    save the overtime for me
    darlin’ don’t stay too long
    pretty baby
    i know you’re working hard for me
    darlin’ don’t stay away too long
    pretty baby
    save the overtime for me
