Paroles :

Ooh my honey

You got me workin' day and night

Ooh my sugar

You got me workin' day and night

Scratch my shoulder

It's aching, make it feel alright

When this is over

Lovin' you will be so right

I often wonder if lovin' you

Will be tonight

But what is love girl

If I'm always out of sight (ooh)

You got me workin' day and night

And I'll be workin'

From sun up to midnight

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You say that workin'

Is what a man's supposed to do

And I say it ain't right

If I can't give sweet love to you, yeah ah

I'm tired of thinkin'

Of what my life's supposed to be (well)

Soon enough darlin'

This love will be reality (ah ah)

How can you live girl

'Cause love for us was meant to be (well)

Then you must be seein'

Some other guy instead of me (ooh)

You got me workin' day and night

And I'll be workin'

From sun up to midnight

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(Hold on)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(I'm so tired tired now)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(Hold on)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

You say that workin'

Is what a man's supposed to do

And I say it ain't right

If I can't give sweet love to you

(Well, ah)

How can you live girl

'Cause love for us was meant to be (well)

Then you must be seein' (woo)

Some other guy instead of me (ooh)

And I'll be workin'

From sun up to midnight

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(Hold on)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(I'm so tired tired now)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(Girl)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(I'm so tired tired now)

You got me workin' workin' day and night

You got me workin' workin' day and night

(How can I get to you)

Critique :

''Working Day and Night'' est une chanson de l'artiste américain Michael Jackson. Il s'agit du troisième titre de son cinquième album studio, Off the Wall (1979). Écrite et produite par Jackson lui-même, cette chanson, bien que n'ayant jamais été commercialisée en single, a été largement diffusée à la radio et dans des films, devenant ainsi l'un des titres les plus populaires de Jackson.

Il l'a également interprétée en concert. On la retrouve aussi dans le jeu vidéo Michael Jackson: The Experience.

La chanson a été samplée par de nombreux artistes. Elle a fait l'objet d'un remix et est sortie sur la compilation de remixes et de bandes originales Immortal en 2011.

En 2014, le producteur Timbaland a samplé des percussions et des respirations de la chanson dans le duo ''Love Never Felt So Good'' (avec Justin Timberlake), sorti en single sur l'album Xscape.
