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 the 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
