Her and I work the 9-to-5
Dreaming of the day I can make her mine
I love the little swish in her move
The catch-me-if-you can in the way she grooves
Does she know that I'm even alive?
Gotta find a way to make her see,
I'm the man for her, she's the woman for me

Oh, what can you do
When love gives you the blues
You can fall on your knees and pray to God, but it won't matter at all
Better love to crawl

Playing hard to get
But it ain't over yet

I gotta turn my thing around
Make a new plan, move to higher ground
my situation going no where fast
But just one look and it was had-to-have
Say goodbye to this average guy
Typical, predictable will never play
A girl like that wants her man well-made

Oh, what can you do
Everybody gotta pay the dues
You can cry all day to My Melancholy Baby and waste precious time
She won't mind

Playing hard to get
But it ain't over yet

Yeah, you gotta look at me now
A brand new man with a wink and a smile
Buzzing around like the birds and the bees
When I look at her, she's looking at me
She wants a great big house
Why should "I do" and honeymoon
When I just begun my day in the sun

Oh, here's the good news
Love makes you brand new
Unrequited love is a lesson from above, wise up and learn
It's my turn

Hard to get
Wise up, you better wise up and learn
Hard to get
And it ain't over yet
