Unwind

SPOKEN:

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

Up in the morning at the crack of dawn

Just a cup of coffee to go to work on

Fight the traffic and the hustle and the bustle of the mob

Gotta hurry, can't be late for my job

Gotta go at a fast pace

Gotta keep up with the rat race

Big tranquilizer gets me through the day

Work so hard for such a little pay

Just when I think I'm gonna blow my mind,

The clock strikes five and I can leave it behind,

Say goodbye to that work day grind,

Run to you, girl, and unwind, I can unwind

In your arms, baby, I can smile

Yeah, I can unwind

Your love makes it all worthwhile

A cozy room, your hand in mine

Love's sweet perfume, sweeter than wine

Ev'rything's gonna be fine

As long as you are mine

You make my little world shine

I can unwind

Seven A.M. comes too fast

Roll out of the bed to that alarm clock blast

Same routine, work, sweat, tears, don't relax

Worry about my bills, snatch a letter from the bank, yeah

Gotta put up a good front

Gotta smile, be polite, and don't be blunt

Nerves on edge, wound up too tight

A headache, I didn't get enough sleep last night

Just when I think I'm gonna blow my mind,

The clock strikes five and I can leave it behind,

Say goodbye to that work day grind,

Run to you, girl, and unwind, I can unwind

In your arms baby I can smile

Yeah, I can unwind

Your love makes it all worthwhile

A cozy room, your hand in mine

Love's sweet perfume, sweeter than wine

Ev'rything's gonna be fine

As long as you are mine

You make my little world shine

I can unwind

Unwind
