Barbara Mandrell Midnight Oil Lyrics

Midnight Oil Lyrics

That call was from the office and I guess I'll have to burn the midnight oil
again

And hon' you know how much the boss depends on me to lend a helping hand

I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll
be

While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

The girls all got together and they called to see if I could have some fun
tonight

But you know me the only thing I do is go to work and watch TV

And I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll
be

While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

And tonight I'll cheat again and tomorrow I'll be sorry

And I'll feel kind of dirty cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me

God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won't set me
free

While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

While I'm puttin' on my makeup I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
