Text: Diana Ross. Workin' Overtime. Bottom Line.
You say you're steady and you're committed
But last night you weren't around when I needed you
You keep on talkin', but I need action
This divided affection just won't do
I hate to give you an ultimatum
But when I'm in love, I want it all the way
That's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
No imitations, give me the real thing
Sugar-coated promises are not enough for me
'Cause if you're fakin', don't be mistaken
I'll be out the door, before you count to three
I hate to sound uncompromising
But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool
Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
If you really wanna get my love
You gotta give me your lovin', no strings attached
If you really wanna keep my heart
You gotta jump it and do it, no turning back
And I hate to sound uncompromising
But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool
Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
That's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
That's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
