I can't work late although I need the money
Gotta get home to my loving honey
She'll be there waiting, waiting impatiently
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Usually I meet with the boys of Friday
Only this morning she said this is my day
The look she gave me sent a shiver down into my soul
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Our love is on a roll, our love is on a good roll
I'm a songwriter a professional dreamer
Mostly a singer but sometimes a screamer
I should know if anybody knows at all
When love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
So I gotta go, I gotta get home early
Be with my woman, soft and curvy
Makes me feel like a king and not a regular Joe
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Our love is on a roll, our love is on a good roll
Our love is on a roll, our love is on a good roll
Our love is on a roll, our love is on a good roll
Our love is on a roll, our love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
