[Verse 1]
You got a disposition
That's decidedly cold
I'd like to loosen my grip
But I can't let go
You make me work so hard
Work my fingers to the bone
When I come around to ask for a raise you wanna be alone
I feel so tired

[Chorus]
Nine to five
Just to keep my family alive
Just to keep from losing my place
I got work to do
Just to talk to you
Hey!

[Verse 2]
You make me feel so small
Just like a part of your machine
That makes you feel so fat
And makes me feel so lean
Just give me a little incentive
Meet me halfway
Tell me where in the book it says you gotta keep me at bay
I feel so tired
[Chorus]
Nine to five
Just to keep my family alive
Just to keep from losing my place
I got work to do
Just to talk to you
Hey!

[Chorus]
Nine to five (Got to keep on)
Just to keep my family alive
Just to keep from losing my place
I got work to do
Just to talk to you

[Chorus]
Nine to five (Got to keep on)
Just to keep your interest alive
Just to keep from losing my place
I got work to do
Just to talk to you
Hey!
