[Verse 1]
I wake up every morning
I stumble out of bed
Stretching and yawning
Another day ahead
It seems to last forever
And time goes slowly by
Till babe and me is together
Then it starts to fly
Cause the moment that he's with me
Time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me
Everything's alright
Night time is the right time
We make love
Then it's his and my time
We take off
[Chorus]
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
[Verse 2]
He takes me to a movie
Or to a restaurant
To go slow dancing
Anything I want
Only when he's with me
I catch light
Only when he gives me
Makes me feel alright
[Chorus]
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
[Bridge]
All day I think of him
Dreaming of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him
And he's crazy mad for me (crazy mad for me)
When he steps off that train
Amazingly full of fight
Work all day to earn his pay
So we can play all night
[Chorus]
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To find me waiting for him
(My baby takes the morning train)
(He works from 9 to 5 and then)
(He takes another home again)
(To find me waiting for him)
