“Work From Home”

By Fifth Harmony

I ain't worried about nothing
I ain't wearing nada
I'm sitting pretty, impatient
But I know you gotta
Put in them hours
I'mma make it harder
I'm sending pic after picture
I'mma get you fired

I know you're always on the night shift
But I can't stand these nights alone
And I don't need no explanation
Cause baby, you're the boss at home

Chorus
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work
But you gotta put in work
Work, work, work, work
You don't gotta go to work
Work, work, work, work
Let my body do the work
Work, work, work, work, work
We can work from home

Let's put it into motion
I'mma give you a promotion
I'll make it feel like a vacation
Turn the bed into an ocean
We don't need nobody
I just need your body
Nothing but sheets in between us
Ain't no getting off early

I know you're always on the night shift
But I can't stand these nights alone
And I don't need no explanation
Cause baby, you're the boss at home

(Chorus)
