Isley Brothers, The - Work To Do Lyrics
I'm taking care of business, baby can't you see
I gotta make it for you, and I gotta make it for me
Sometimes it may seem girl I'm neglecting you
I'd love to spend more time
But I got so many things to do
Ooh, I got work to do, I got work baby
I got a job yeah I got work to do,
Said I got work to do
Oh I'm out here trying to make it, baby can't you see
It takes a lot of money to make, it let's talk truthfully
So keep your love light burning
And a little food hot in my plate
You might as well get used to me coming home a little late, oh
I got a job, yeah I got work to do
I got work to do, everybody's got work to do
I'm taking care of business baby can't you see
I gotta make it for you, I gotta make it for me
Don't wanna make you feel I'm neglecting you
I'd love to spend more time, oh
But I got so many things to do

Work to do is a slow sexy song to do the hustle to if you like to dance.
I can listen to this all day,I have always been a fan of the sexy soul group, you just can't touch this era.
Encouragement is this song
We need that work to focus away from the 10.000 unnecessary nickel ass focuses.Idle hands are the devil's playground.Hes got work to do because he's partial to a roof,some lights,dollar store household house possibles..Home and work.The balance.When you're sick of one,there's the other.
Some idiot changed the lyric from, "Keep your love light burnin' and a little food hot in my plate" to this bullshxt :::
Oh, I'm out here trying to make it
Baby can't you see
It takes a lot of money to make it
Let's talk truthfully
So keep your love light burnin'
Oh, you've gotta have a little faith
You might as well get used to me
Coming home a little late.
Virtue Signaling of classic songs is fundamentally retarded (yeah, RETARDED)!

Isley Brothers are one of my all time favourites - fantastic performers and songwriters - however I think the Average White Band absolutely smashed this song in my opinion.

Gotta go make S**t happen baby!
The 70s were my favorite time! When I heard this song, I really took this to heart! I will always love the Isley Brothers! I have this song on the 'Brother Brother Brother' album

Hell Yeah!!
I really have work to do.
yall youngsta just don't understand.....Isley One Of The Coldest Groups Ever!
I'm working on it right now.
Going to work right now.
When my husband tells me he's got work to do, you know I break it down in song for him! 😉
Absolutely, the best version of this formidable song. Now, if you'll excuse me I got work to do.
The pride of Cincinnati.
Yeah, Isley Bros did a nice job on this song; no doubt! However, I think AWB has got the upper ✋. Anyway, great tune; motivational.
The original version
The cover of this classic by a white scottish band called The Average WhiteBand is good also.
Hawaii five o brought me here
They just put this on loudspeakers because today's kids don't want to do anything they don't want to work they don't know what hard work is they don't know what the struggle is like we did back in the day they don't have a clue I wonder what the future is going to be like this song is so inspiring
Simply raw talent. Sounds as good today as it did in the 70s. I'd say better.... Great music and talent never dies ❤❤🔥🔥
I watch Hawaii Five-O on TV last night and they had the one of the detectives singing this song in the shower and it just brought back so many memories such good music back then makes you feel so good God bless
Now that was music back in the day the crap they have out now it is just that crap this is so feel good music it makes me want to get up and dance and have no cares in the world Amen and God bless
I got work to do
I like this version and The Main Ingredient's version.
This is a #bad song!

It takes a lot of money to make, it let's talk truthfully
So keep your love light burning

What a joyous song. I got a job, baby, I got work to do! Lots of people singing that nowadays. Haven't seen anything like it in the last 50 years. Wages going up too. For all the noise, these are great times.
an old time fav!
The soundtrack to Heaven.
Love that piano piece!!!
Rare Groove Merchants! 😎👍
Whenever you girl gets on u for never being home play this. She'll start to understand.
From a young kid I loved this song, I still do.
1.25 speed sounds so good
Isleys RULZ! I like the AWB version
When I want to be reminded of when music was good I just pull up my 1970’s playlist...I could roll with music right through to the end of the 90’s, but WTF happened after that is beyond me
Well said Patrik
Yardie brought me here.
You playing this you on the job👍
Got to go work ccrider bills
fuck off cyrus
Yes I do happy holidays New York 🥂
67yrs...and STILL Doin' It !!!
Well, this is my new morning alarm! 😊
Any one remember The Main Ingredient's version of this?
Yes! I love that version too!!!
Tomorrow Monday work bills
Hawaii 5.0 brought me here.
haha me too
Grover singing in the shower, this song, plus Gladys Knight and Lou Gossett Jr. ? That was a great scene 🤣
I think if this song was played on the radio like the the hit it is it would motivate the passionless people of the world ( especially nubians ) to perhaps create businesses that contribute to their own communities. The power of good music. Its underrated.
When I sing this people are like what are you singing?
so so happy that the people vs oj simpson brought me here!
I used to think of this song when I would get on top of the tables and hustle! I would strut my stuff and shake it for men and women, whoever would pay. True story!!!
