[Verse 1]
Overinvested tryna get some change back
These growin' pains are sayin' that's not how a man should act
Been running 'round, doing things I'm not supposed to
Been saving numbers, thinkin' it won't get back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
I'm the bad guy inside this storyline
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
I'd stay on this line if it's gon' change your mind
[Chorus]
Baby, take time letting me back in
All the blames mine, you're not overreactin'
I know that I hurt you but I'm just tryna earn you
Keep me workin' until I deserve you, woah
On my mind, workin' like a 9 to 5
Too deep in to let it slide
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
On my mind, workin' like a 9 to 5
Too deep in to let it slide
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
[Verse 2]
Promised your mother I would never drop the ball
Enemy number one, your friends heard it all (Your friends heard it all)
I know I got a lot to prove to break down the walls
Never again that I'll have you cryin' waterfalls
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
I'm the bad guy inside this storyline
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
I'd stay on this line if it's gon' change your mind
[Chorus]
Baby, take time letting me back in
All the blames mine, you're not overreactin'
I know that I hurt you but I'm just tryna earn you
Keep me workin' until I deserve you, woah
On my mind (Mind), workin' like a 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
Too deep in to let it slide (Let it slide)
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
On my mind (Mind), workin' like a 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
Too deep in to let it slide (Let it slide)
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
[Bridge]
If there's a thousand conversations that you needed
I'll give you one thousand and one
I can rewire all the gut feels that you're feelin'
And I won't stop until you trust my love
[Chorus]
Baby, take time letting me back in
All the blames mine, you're not overreactin'
I know that I hurt you but I'm just tryna earn you
Keep me workin' until I deserve you, woah
On my mind (Mind), workin' like a 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
Too deep in to let it slide (Let it slide)
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
On my mind (Mind), workin' like a 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
Too deep in to let it slide (Let it slide)
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
[Outro]
(Ooh-ooh, oh-oh)
On my mind, workin' like a 9 to 5
Too deep in to let it slide
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
(Ooh-ooh, oh-oh)
On my mind, workin' like a 9 to 5
Too deep in to let it slide
Keep me workin' 'til I deserve you
