If it was up to the boss, I think he'd work you to death
We got bills to pay and we're up to our necks in debt
I went to pick up the truck, the radiator still leaks
Sometimes it feels like we're stuck with no paddle up a creek

Baby, when it's down to me and you
We leave our worries at the door
We got more important things to do

Baby, when it's down to me and you
We just make up for life's little problems
By makin' love the whole night through

Well, the price of groceries goes up every day
Seems like our hard-earned money just up and flies away
Sometimes it feels like we're backed in a corner up against the wall
But puttin' up with the hassles isn't really a hassle at all, 'cause

Baby, when it's down to me and you
We leave our worries at the door
We got more important things to do

Baby, when it's down to me and you
We just make up for life's little problems
By makin' love the whole night through

We'll lock the world outside
Oh, we've made up our minds
Love is all that matters tonight

Baby, when it's down to me and you
We leave our worries at the door
We got more important things to do

Baby, when it's down to me and you
We just make up for life's little problems
By makin' love the whole night through
