All day long
I've been thinking about you, baby
With loving you on my mind
I couldn't hardly wait
To get home to you, baby
So I could do a little overtime
Baby, baby, you've been so good to me
I want to understand
If I want a do right woman
Then I've got to be a do right man

So I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Yes, I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Trying to keep Jody from my door

Oh I know I've been neglecting you
Lately, baby
Just trying to make ends meet
But tonight I'm gonna be
On my love job, baby
Me working on you, you working on me

Wine, music, and a little candlelight
Just to help me unwind
'Cause I know
I got so much love to give, baby
And tonight I'm gonna take my time

I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Said I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just trying to keep Jody from my door

I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Yes, I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just gotta keep Jody from my door

I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Think I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just trying to keep Jody from my door...
